Despite The Human Line Project’s failure to list any women as key contributors or members, we know at least one woman is actively promoting them to the media. Who is she? Is it Cori Shepherd Stern or someone else?
This Quebec based French podcast interviewed Etienne Brisson in Feb 2026. I don’t speak French but I put the transcript into Chatgpt and it translated the intro as follows:
Host 2: How’s it going, Eten? We’re welcoming Étienne—parentheses, parentheses—he cuts me off.”
Host 1: “We don’t know who we’re welcoming. We don’t know him. We don’t know who he is. We’re doing an episode with a guy we heard about, but really my girlfriend heard about him through some woman.”
Host 2: “Okay. My girlfriend knows a woman who has an organization, and she wanted to have you on. So my girlfriend tells me, ‘Yeah, this woman wanted to have Étienne Brisson on.’ I said, ‘Who’s that?’”
Host 2: “She said, ‘I don’t know.’ I said, ‘I’m a guest on my own podcast?’ But then I googled you, and you have a project, The Human Line Project, right?”
Host 1: “So if you introduced yourself to us, instead of us trying to introduce you when we don’t know
Host 2: it’s like on Tout le monde en parle, they introduce the guest with a cue card and explain their whole résumé. I don’t know him. Some woman told me about him.”
Host 1: “But it’s different, because when we know nothing, we can learn everything. Étienne, welcome to Best Guy. You don’t know us either. We’re super funny, and we do a kind of humorous podcast.”
“My girlfriend knows a woman who has an organization.” Who is the woman and what organization does she have? What is her interest in promoting Brisson and The Human Line Project?
Etienne: People have also shared a lot of stories, like I was saying earlier. A lot of media have covered it too. We’re working on documentaries right now
By any chance, are any of those documentaries executive produced by Cori Shepherd Stern or secured through her contacts?
On Pending Lawsuits
Host: Can you tell us the amounts of money you receive when you send a demand letter and the companies agree?
Etienne: They haven’t finished any cases with us. They’ve finished cases involving Google and Character AI. There haven’t been completed cases with us yet. But I’m pretty sure those settled in the millions of dollars.
What do you mean OpenAI hasn’t finished any cases “with us”? The Human Line Project is not publicly named as a party to the lawsuits. Is there a backroom deal or quid pro quo? How exactly does The Human Line Project stand to benefit from these lawsuits?
