Seen in a video, looked it up. Yep, it’s real. Unironically.

A friend challenges you and shows you where you’re wrong. Friends are mutual, not servants.
I was so certain this would be dead in the water by now… But nope

Roughly one year ago:
New Yorkers Are Defacing This AI Startup’s Million-Dollar Ad Campaign
Just this one sharpied message? It’s spot on of course, but “New Yorkers Are” seems exaggerated.
Just this one … ?
There are pictures (well, they’re embeds of Twitter posts) of many such defaced signs right there in the story? There were other stories with many other defaced signs besides. There was so much defacement that the friend.com CEO started saying it was an intentional part of the campaign.
Ah ok, I didn’t see the xhitter stuff.
We need more 3rd spaces, and disposable income to use at those spaces.
In my experience the best third spaces were alway such where no money was needed.
Well yea, but we could all use a lil more money too.
¿Donde esta la Bibliotheca?!
And time too.
While connected, your friend is always listening. Speak to them and they reply out loud
Uncomfortable.
I saw that shit and I don’t think it has a speaker. You have to connect it to an app and have to check your phone for it’s replies
lol… back in college people used to joke ‘rent a friend: join a frat’
now you can just skip secondary education and rent a friend that doesn’t even exist
Wow, I hate that
Its very easy to make fun of this… awful horrible thing. But I truly pity those who see this and think “I wont have to be lonely anymore!”.l
There has been bouts of extreme loneliness in my life, and I really wonder if this came out back then, what would I have done, purchase one of these? Waste my money for a machine that listens to my every move? Haunting to think about.
I’m not exactly making fun of this. Not at all really. Shudderingly dystopian.
The video the still is taken from talks about exactly these things btw. Dr Fatima about AI.
The people crying that the loneliness epidemic isnt real will drive plenty of vulnerable people to this anyway. Just be glad to clear of it.
Thanks, but I’ve been perfectly happy with my OnlyFriends experience.
Uh just go to cozy.talk abd make real friends without ads and subscription to corponet…
I always fire up Tor Browser in situations like these, but this looks trustworthy. Haven’t signed up so no idea about actually meeting people there. How does it work? I mean I’m meeting people right here, right now, aren’t I, so where’s the difference?
The Dev is very open. Ive been loving it. Its lime chill Lemmy basically. Think stardew social media
lime chill … stardew social media
sorry, you lost me there.
I that Dr Fatimah? I love her stuff
Highly recommended.
Yeah, long video about AI.
What a weird website. The photos and the video feel like a parody.
Nope.
