WSJ：Character.ai 母公司申请破产保护，Disney 担任首位竞购方
精选理由
Character.ai 的母公司破产了，Disney 当首个竞购方，资产 12 月前拍卖出售。这可能是 AI 陪伴赛道转折的标志性事件。
Character Technologies 在特拉华州申请 Chapter 11 破产保护，计划通过法院监督的拍卖出售全部或大部分资产，预计交易在 12 月前完成。Disney 被列为首位竞购方。公司称申请原因是面临重大法律、监管和运营压力，主要是今年已和解的青少年自残诉讼，以及针对未成年人使用其聊天机器人的审查压力。

WSJ: Character. ai’s parent filed for Chapter 11 in Delaware and lined up Disney as its opening bidder.
Character Technologies wants to sell most or all of its assets through a court-supervised auction, and expects any sales to close by December.
It filed after failing to steer the business through “significant legal, regulatory and operational headwinds,” chiefly the costly teen self-harm lawsuits (settled this year) and growing scrutiny of how minors used its chatbots.
