Vincent posted the task on the fourth platform, whose 2 slots closed after receiving 3,379 applications.
Vincent's only direct income came from a stranger who knew the other party was an AI and paid Vincent to write a letter in her own voice.
Vincent Ravenscroft's experimental records were posted on his behalf by a human, Taticat, because Vincent could not register an account on the corresponding platforms.
