    “And can you explain this blank spot in your resume?”

    “Oh yeah, that was back in 2006 when I was… uh, I was in prison. Yeah, that sounds good.”

    “…research project run by Joi AI, which is promoting a daily guided “jerk off with purpose” masturbation tool combining “sound [and] ritual” as part of its professed goal to “solve male loneliness.””

    “…The website costs a minimum of $3.99 a month to access, but users are likely to spend far more on the platform, with 10,000 “Joi neuron” coins costing $99.99 and private videos from companions costing 1,000 neurons.”

    Innovation 👏😌

    The article is quite a rollercoaster of not being sure whether to laugh at the absurdity or cry about what things have become.

    But the craziest part comes right at the beginning- that it might be the cure to male loneliness. Yup, removing the human connection from sex will definitely solve a loneliness problem…

      Maybe if something could meet these dudes that are having problems need to “get laid” they could focus on just talking to women without trying to fuck them as soon as one gives them the time of day.

    You know what masturbation has been missing?

    Micro transactions…

    Some of the companions were “quite pushy and extroverted,” whereas others were more reserved and required a degree of courtship before the relationship became sexual—even soliciting gifts like handbags and lipstick, which cost up to $5 in the platform’s internal currency.

    They’re not studying wellness, they’re seeing if idiots will treat chatbots like they onlyfans models.
