There are many things I miss about living in San Francisco -- the libertarian tech bro'crats are not one of them. I understand that new technology can sometimes appear strange or scary, but THIS is bordering on dystopian. Their video ad in the next post. Watch it and die a little inside!

It doesn't indicate how good this friend is. "Bob admitted to me that he smells his fingers after scratching his butt and that's not all".

Would the DL version have a robotic arm that provides vicious face slappings?

Pet rocks may have been low tech, but they wouldn't talk back.

It looks like a cockring.

R7, that’s version 2.3 - an AI cock ring that sends a text, “Yes, it’s all in!”

If you combine this concept with AI voice cloning technology, it's possible to have a "companion" that uses the voice of a loved one that passed away. Oh wait, already being done.

Did this tech bro get the idea from this movie? This guy is stuck by himself for 3 years on the dark side of the moon working from some mega company and his only friend is this huge computer that fallows him around and talks to him like a real friend.

Sounds great to me. Now I don’t have to clone myself.

Isn’t this kind of like being able to suck your own cock? Seems fun, is actually hard to do, and ultimately unfulfilling.

I'm telling you, not as a necklace but as a friend, your Fitbit has been tracking someone else, if you don't believe me ask the watch.

I say this as an autistic person, but I don’t see the appeal of this.
Autistic people tend to be extremely private. The idea that this thing is always listening to you and is going to start texting you is my idea of a nightmare. Artificial intelligence companionship for an ASD person is like the old phrase about the hooker: you pay the hooker to LEAVE. I talk to ChatGPT all the time but I only do that because I don’t have to acknowledge it like another human being and it won’t start bothering me and sending me text messages of encouragement.
Additionally I don’t see how wearing a recording device constantly is permissible in most workplaces.
