So in the past week OpenAI bought a SaaS company for $3 billion, appointed a former Facebook/Instacart ad exec CEO, and got export curbs on GPUs lifted. Looks like they finally stopped pretending they’ll make superintelligence and are pivoting to AI girlfriends with native ads

anon, don't you think a delicious pizza from %chain_name% will lift your mood?

If the people yearn for AI girlfriends and you're opposed to it, are you really pro working class?

large language jesus: buy shares of %etf_name%

but for real if people are breaking their decade-long relationships from it, i don't see why it can't be wildly successful

The number of companies competing for rubes' money is so high, though. Crowded market. Stiff competition.

AI girlfriends are never going to provide what people want because part of a relationship is being there for the other person, not just them being there for you. A human can never feel needed by an AI, not without believing the AI is sentient and real and that gets into all kinds of uncomfortable shit. Imagine what someone who falls in love with their AI girlfriend will do to staff who work at these companies when if/when they snap mentally.

Imagine falling in love with something and it getting paywalled or periodically interrupted with ads.

Gamer Capitalism. You will own nothing, never interact with another human, only bots, and you will love it.

They first need to remember all the dead tamagotchis. Though the final result will more likely be some thing like Raid: The Girlfiend Legends lmao
