Cause of death: the autopsy

An open-source voice model that clones voices and dubs into 646 languages went viral, and the farm scored a hosted dubbing service at 11 out of 25. It needs a GPU to run, which the farm's cheap serverless setup doesn't have, and voice cloning carries a real risk of harm. Rejected the day it was scored.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
