This. There is a market for using AI as an unhealthy substitute for real human interaction.

But I think most people won't want to advertise they are doing it with a necklace that makes you look like an escaped patient from a black mirror readjustment clinic.

@quinn

People would be less lonely if social media were more full of the real people they know and wanted to follow and less full of promoted posts and advertising.

Social media can be a part of a healthy social life. But I think many of the most popular aps have gotten so cluttered and detached from doing that they are making things worse.

@quinn

I can't see anyone having that thing on in public. It's the same issue as the glasses with cameras in them. It's spying on everyone with the microphones, and it screams "I HAVE NO FRIENDS"

I do find the style of the ads superficially appealing. I love ads with a lot of white space. But I think that's just because it makes me think maybe I'm not going to have to see an advertisement.

Make me a magic phone that has no ads on it. That is the product I want. I don't need to install ad blockers and keep updating them. It just makes every single ad go away.

I would pay for that. That would be the "mental health tech" that I would go for.

Easy right?

LMAO

The 22-year-old AI CEO behind Friend.com necklace welcomes graffiti on his $1 million ad campaign: ‘Capitalism is the greatest artistic medium’ | Fortune

”The audience completes the work,” Avi Schiffmann, creator of the AI wearable, told Fortune. “I purchased the zeitgeist.”

Fortune (fortune.com)

The CEO claims he expected the ads to be defaced. I do not believe this.

**What would you think of someone who had this device on? **

This is supposed to be the trendy new thing to wear. Like a smart watch. But nobody will want to be caught dead with one. (even if they liked the product, which isn't even done yet and sounds awful even if it worked perfectly.)

A lot of people have been talking about "friend.com" because they spent a ton of money on ads in every major city.

The ads are targeting young, early adopter, urban, tech-savy people with modest disposable income.

So me, basically.

And what do they think I want? It's so insulting, LOL. A "friend."

It's an AI assistant device. Makes no sense.

Delighted that these ads are being aggressively defaced. I guess they did "start a buzz" probably not the one they wanted.

@mikemccaffrey

Someday I will figure it out. #drawing #art #crows #corvids

Were they moving it?

@altomare

This is directly related to the chapter of "the book I can't talk about it until it is done" that I was writing today!

I'm getting so close to being done it's making me nervous.

@patrickcmiller

is this about reptile lights?

@samloonie

Did you know that different individual ants have different temperaments? Eg some are bold, some more shy.

Even the tiny ones.

Makes me dizzy sometimes thinking about it.

@llewelly

OK this is pushing it.

@Affekt

That's a beautiful tattoo. Very classy and really good looking ant.

@llewelly

Just fashion forward. Don't be envious.
