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

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.

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.

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.

now you can just skip secondary education and rent a friend that doesn't even exist

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?

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

A friend challenges you and shows you where you're wrong. Friends are mutual, not servants.
