a (human) friend texted me this link with the question “is this real?” and maybe I’ve been in the mountains for too long but it can’t possibly be real, right? Like as a critique or a satire it’s both incisive and clever, but as an earnest attempt at a product it’s just… deeply unhinged? “When will I receive my friend?” “Pre-orders will start shipping Q1 2025.” Questions frequently asked by the utterly deranged. https://www.friend.com/product.html

“Your order includes a white friend device and a white case.” I mean, the jokes write themselves. https://www.friend.com/product.html

wow okay apparently it’s real, and they raised $2.5 million dollars, AND they spent $1.8 million of those dollars buying the domain name friend-dot-com, which is downright hilarious. I just spent $1.99 on the subway ride home buying the domain “enemy.lol”; anyone with web design chops wanna get in on this? I think “enemy” is a AI pendant that texts you to poke at your deepest insecurities. (with a premium plan it'll send your friends recordings of you talking about them behind their backs)

on the one hand, this was a colossal waste of time and money. on the other hand it wasn't that much time. (or money.) https://www.enemy.lol
