There is zero history of her programming. This is a scam, using her name.

The Wikipedia article about her https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milla_Jovovich links to https://www.millaj.com/ which links to her Instagram http://instagram.com/millajovovich/ where the bio reads:

> Mother/Actress/Architect of MemPalace free and open source on GitHub

And the linktree from the Instagram profile links to https://github.com/milla-jovovich/mempalace

The parent post didn't say "unauthorized." Plenty of scams use celebrities' names/reputations and compensate then for it. See: just about every pump-and-dump cryptocoin.

WHAT?!?!? Surely you aren't telling me that the Hawk Tuah girl didn't create her own coin from scratch.

This is what you get combining shameless bunch of famous B-rated movie star, crypto dudes and Automatic programming hype (Claude in contibs)

But it is so dumb that it doesn't even add to the drift towards greater Idiocracy clock values.

That is a very valid concern, but in this case she is actually "involved":

I remember when Paris Hilton was shilling NFTs.

And her last posts before these were shilling NFTs in 2022.

I’ve watched Milla on social media discussing this project, she is working with a developer who is a friend of hers to have it go forward.

her partner "engineered" it while she "architected", whatever that means in this particular case

It means she came up with the idea and partnered with someone to build the code. Pretty simple to understand.
