For those who don't get it: this is a parody of a recently launched AI wearable called friend

Quite amusing!
> Crafted from the finest plastic, the NotFriend will never go out of style.
This is obviously correct since it was never in style. :-)

I dig the “scalping a Thomas the Tank Engine” look. Good product.

I would actually like a penchant that records everything around me and transcribes it plus gives me statistics and feedback on my communication. How much I interrupt people, how much space I take in convos, how to be a better conversationalist, etc.
All local compute of course.

I wonder if my bolo tie qualifies as a similarly non-smart AI device. I just watched the first half of the "friend" commercial and couldn't help feel the tone was kinda dark and about to veer into horror territory soon. Like you couldn't even parody it because it would be too on the nose.

This is hilarious, very nice parody and timing is nice too.

If I were you I should be worried about legal claims from facebook.

I have a pet rock I picked up during lockdown.

This is the pet rock of our generation.
