"Jack Dorsey, the former Twitter chief and now CEO (or Blockhead) at payments company Block, is supporting a Vine reboot app called diVine that plans to bring back 10,000 archived videos from the defunct platform once thought lost to the world. The new app, which is being funded by Dorsey's nonprofit "and Other Stuff," will also take a strong stance against the AI-generated content that has started to proliferate across the web, with special filters to prevent AI posts."
"So basically, I'm like, can we do something that's kind of nostalgic? Can we do something that takes us back, that lets us see those old things, but also lets us see an era of social media where you could either have control of your algorithms, or you could choose who you follow, and it's just your feed, and where you know that it's a real person that recorded the video?"
Twitter shut down Vine in 2017, leaving six-second videos widely thought lost. Jack Dorsey is funding a Vine reboot app called diVine to restore 10,000 archived Vine videos. diVine will be funded by Dorsey's nonprofit "and Other Stuff" and will implement filters to prevent AI-generated posts. The effort is led by Evan Henshaw-Plath (Rabble), who recovered a good percentage of popular Vine videos and associated accounts by digging through an archive. The project aims to recreate a pre-AI, Web 2.0 social experience with user-controlled algorithms and verified human-produced videos. X owner Elon Musk has separately claimed access to Vine archives, but the diVine team is actively restoring content.
