Meditation community accuses AI platform founder of copying retreat system under guise of research

A meditation community member publicly accused AI meditation platform founder Stephen: he approached their sangha under the guise of scientific inquiry, collected student data and practice insights, then used that trust to build a commercial platform with no reciprocal accountability.
The community says their retreat system and protocols were copied without the sila (ethics) or panna (wisdom) components. Direct outreach was ignored until the allegations went public, and the founder still refuses to take accountability. A case study in ethical boundaries for AI product cold-starts.
