A project called “Meta Slave” launched, offering NFTs made from photographs of Black people (all apparently algorithmically-generated). Backlash was swift and intense, and the project has tried several times to respond: first by claiming that they are trying to support Black Lives Matter and honor George Floyd (much like the “Floydies” project in December), then rebranding to “Meta Humans” and throwing a couple photos of white and Asian people into the collection. The project has, thankfully, not enjoyed much success. I, for one, think it’s likely to be a troll project by 4channers, but who’s to say.
