The Human Line Project
For Profit Business Masquerading as Grassroots
Grift Founded by Serial Con Artist and Hollywood Producer Cori Shepherd Stern
Who is Cori Shepherd Stern?
By all appearances, Oscar nominated director Cori Shepherd Stern was both a Hollywood hit maker and a humanitarian. Whether it was directing Shiny, Happy, People for Amazon Prime, arranging medical care for African kids in extreme need, or starting a home for Liberian refugees, she developed a reputation for tackling the hardest cases in the hardest places. On paper, Cori Shepherd Stern looked unimpeachable.
Why Hasn’t Stern Sued Me?
Because you can’t sue someone for telling the truth.
If I’m a terrifying stalker committing malicious defamation, as Stern creatively alleges on her Instagram, then why haven’t she sued me yet? She has enough lawyers on retainer. Surely she must have enough grounds if I’ve been committing such violent harassment for a year.
Lawsuits: Facts Don’t Match the Case
Current working theory: Cori Shepherd Stern intended for Mica Ringo to be either the star plaintiff or the cautionary tale for the cause of “AI psychosis” and Stern had a lawsuit template pre-written for either option. When Ringo refused the trap, Stern simply created a funnel to generate leads and then chose a new target and inserted their name on the lawsuit, regardless of whether the facts fit or not. The language used in all the cases is nearly identical copy and paste.
Producing a Class Action Lawsuit

Can’t Hide the Creepiness
It’s important to look at not only what’s explicitly on the website but also what kinds of things are missing that you might expect to see? The Human Line Project uses language about protecting human emotional safety and wellbeing but the imagery doesn’t reflect that ethos. These images all have a very creepy undertone, not a healing one.
