Autistic TechBros sell new AI necklace to replace human friendships

UGHHHH

How soon before Peter Thiel pays this guy to run for the Senate?

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.

I'd only want AI to do my housework.

It looks like a cockring.

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

r4 Would buy.

What happens after their "one time fee" moves to a subscription plan or they cut you off? Ghosted by your own AI friend.

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.

is it called "Tomagatchi"?

“Listen, Attention whore; you have me, your watch, your phone, your phablet, your tablet, your desk top, and your tv are all stuck listening to your shit.”

Good, let them have their own tech comfort bubble and leave the rest of us alone

What if I have coffee breath? Will AI let me know?

F-... f-... f-.. friend?

Isn't that what Datalounge is?

Incorporate it into a FleshLight and then it's an AI friend with benefits

Good idea r23.

These tech idiots are going to kill us all aren’t they?

True story: They spent $1.8 million of their $2.5 million of funding to buy the domain name friend.com
