New 'Friend' Necklace Offers AI Companionship

[scorpio vega]

This is actually very sad if someone needs this for validation and companionship

Her 1.0 beta. Join the waitlist. I actually like it. If it’s helpful to someone, I see nothing wrong with it.

Wow you're so edgy

will Friend recognize when we're fappin?

"You go on. You deserve it."

A necklace AI that acts as your friend? I've seen this before, back in 1979:

Thanks to Twiki wearing Dr. Theopolis, prior art has been established.
Also, if it takes off, the estate of Glen Larson should be raking in a lot of dough!

If it makes Twiki's bl-blli billi bl sound (you try turning that sound into text!) then I'm sold. However im more likely to lose friends as i get Friend to make the Twiki sound constantly for my amusement.

Even the music and the editing felt like black mirror...

....that's a real thing? Ye Gods... I'm just not getting it... it's a thing that hangs round your neck that sends banal and trite messages to your phone, so you then have to read them on your phone, and the light goes on and off... and that's a friend? A companion?
That guy at the end, sorry dude, you've been replaced by an electronic trinket. Hope they'll be happy together.

As therapeutic device... maybe but remember that more technology can not solve problem created by ill focus on technology. More human understanding, attention and acceptance/love can.

 

[Mac Fly (film)]

What a world.

 

[Pakaku]

I guess tech-bro AI shills are so despicable, that now they have to invent friends to replace the ones they lost

 

[nfilipek]

Selling a bad Bluetooth microphone as necklace for 99$???? This is a scam greater than Rabbit R1 😂

 

[StellarVixen]

Yawn, just another flop in advance, just like rabbit and AI Pin.

 

[phalseHUD]

Now that’s creepy AF.
Sad world we live in when it comes to this.

Usually 7:40 am would be too early for me to say "This is the dumbest thing I've seen today." but I think it qualifies.

[Zest28]

Brb, going to patent the idea of an AI in a s*xdoll.

 

[matt_and_187_like_this]

Said it before that's all you need right now. Camera and mic connected to phone. There will be a ton of devices like this very soon and they'll be even cheaper.

AI the next generation Facebook and TickTock.

Tiktok is basically a one-armed bandit, I don't see how this device uses any addicting gambling mechanics.

 

[dugbug]

will the Rabbit R1 and necklace get along?

 

[votdfak]

Whenever I am down I call on you my friend...

 

[Biro]

Kudos to them and I hope it helps and is successful, but it also makes me sad that this is where we're at in 2024.

Yes. Sad is the only word that describes this.

 

[ttaylor2258]

Hahahaha, really?!? Hey kids, a bit of advice: Put down the phone and the PS5 controller and go talk to the kid next door. Maybe even ride your bike next door, if you ever learned to ride one. Man, we are so screwed as a society.

wow, yeah, cool... i appreciate that they improved the device form factor!

 

[TheVowelO]

This was depressing to watch.

Will wearing multiple friends make me popular? Asking for a friend*.
