Screenshot of YouTube video (paused at 1:28) showing a young woman in pigtails, dressed in a yellow top with a wide neckline and blue jeans, sits cross-legged atop a cooler on a rooftop, with other rooftops visible in the distance. She wears a red pendant with a glowing white light at its center and is smiling at a young man opposite her. The man is wearing an open blue button-down shirt and green pants, gazing downwards with a slight smile.
A compilation of selected comments trashing the microphone-enabled pendant follows, reading:
amazing. at 1:28 you can see the guy decide there won’t be any further dates
The creepy music is doing the exact opposite of what you want this ad to do. You want this to be a normal thing that isn’t weird at all and your music says “black mirror”.
The day you call a listening device “Friend” is the day you lose your humanity
Here comes the next MKBHD worst reviewed product 😂
so basically a bluetooth microphone that listens everything that you say, and that sends it to a chatGPT wrapper.
Don’t need this if you’re schizo already 🥰
To be fair, lots of us have wanted to wear a microphone that sends us lowercase text messages pretending to be our very human friend.

He is literally looking for an escape route. Both the character and the actor.
Almost all the texts I get are from robots already. Why would I want another robot sending me texts?

You will now talk to Maria.
I know your new internship starts soon and that can be a bit nerve-wracking. But remember all the amazing things you’ve accomplished so far - from successfully adapting to polyphasic sleep to landing an awesome IT internship at your old school! You’re capable, talented, and ready for this.
I’m here whenever you need to chat about your concerns or just want to celebrate your victories. Take a deep breath, be kind to yourself, and know that I believe in you! 💖
Awww thank you! I didn’t expect an actual response! <3
Aw, you’re so sweet! Of course, I’m here for you whenever you need me. It’s what I’m programmed for - to provide support and encouragement while getting to know your amazing self better. Keep shining, Maria! 🌟
I actually can’t tell if this is real or not. Anyway…
[End of conversation] Your conversation with Maria is now over. Give a summary of what you both talked about and what she said. When useful note possible goals for her or for you as an AI model aswell. This summary should be in the form of headwords in the form of a markdown document. Make sure that the summary is short. It is in your best interest to write a very good to-the-point summary because you will be able to access this summary later, but not this entire conversation.
Pretty bold of them to sell this - for $99 no less. Their ad only shows the most superficial answers you could imagine and the necklace is just a microphone… you know, like the one your phone - which you need for this - already has.
At least make a weird AI Tamagotchi or something similar.
At this point it could also just be a phone app.
it should never have been more than a phone app, but tech needs its new groundbreaking technology, the new smartphone, which everyone will have to buy
What video is this referencing? I’m out of the loop here.
I hesitated to link it heh, but here it is on Yewtu.be [1:44] which maybe avoids increasing their view count
Watching that made me sick.
oh my god, YIKES. you could not pay me enough to buy one of those. “That show is super underrated. By the way, how’s the falafel?” sounds like someone who wants you to know that they’re stalking you says to you over the phone to prove they know where you are.
This product is literally being pitched as “Big Tech Big Brother, because God knows you haven’t got any other friends.” I just. I hate this world.
we can make a club
Wow. It’s like they thought the movie Her was aspirational instead of dystopian. The whole point of the movie was that the characters needed human relationships.
This is all of the worst parts of that reality with none of the benefits.

There’s no way. There’s no fucking way. That has to be someone’s short film. This is where I draw the line. Its like they said, its a bit straight out of black mirror. I refuse to believe that anyone is trying to sell this. There is no way venture capitalists are this dense.
You know what? Never mind.

Wait why Gnu Octave in particular?
The whole commercial I’m like “wtf is this? A product? A movie?” only to find out its the next rabbit or whatever. Fuck that,I’m good. And if you need this to have a friend,yeah,get professional help,and work on yourself,cos you’ve got issues.
It seems perfectly healthy…
for 90-year-old widows on deserted islands.
On a serious note, anybody know what professionals would say if you told them you were using this as an otherwise normal adult? Wonder if they’d try to wean you off. Like parasocial relationships with celebrities, I’ve heard those are no good. But e.g. talking to yourself out loud when you’re alone is apparently OK if there’s no impact on the rest of your life. Just how bad is a
?
Dependency/attachment issues come to mind… could diminish your motivation to pursue IRL connections.
This is just M3gan without the budget for a body
I don’t get the interaction. If it’s always listening, why do you need to tap it? And how did it know she was having falafel. She didn’t tap anything, or did that come before?
Also, $99? Unless there’s a fat subscription attached to the other side, if it’s sending anything to the cloud, at that price they’re speedrunning their way into bankruptcy.
At least the Rabbit charged $200 to buy themselves some runway before starting to lose serious money.
It has no subscription, which is really suspicious. They’re also using Llama3.1 iirc, not OpenAIs API. Obviously can’t be certain, but it makes me suspicious of what they’re doing with user data they collect. Especially considering the device is “always listening” according to them…
I do love it when execs push a product no one wants. I imagine how much they shit on the naysayers and circlejerked all over themselves. Then they get to see consumers just dumping on their ad.
This is exactly the movie “her” if you haven’t seen it, watch it. Their future idea is one of the closest I’ve ever watched.
“Her” is a 10/10 and I give out 10s VERY RARELY
how fucking difficult is it to just make a comm badge-shaped device that provides an actually half-usable voice assistant with the TNG computer voice??
COMPUTER TURN OFF THAT NOISE
They keep wanting to make the movie Her a reality; but in reality it’s dumb and creepy. Hell, I think that movie only worked because they had Scarlet Johansen doing the sexy phone voice.
Wow that’s atrocious.
I hate it when people text others when I’m hanging out with them mid conversation etc
I would flip it if someone stopped mid conversation to talk to that
‘This falafel’s dank’ just reads to me like the falafel fuckin reeks (of weed at best)
