New AI startup Friend is hoping you're desperate enough to need a large language model computational algorithm to be your new best friend.

The company's AI is housed in a necklace that is always there — listening to your every word.

Ah, the man-made horrors beyond comprehension that we have lived to see.

I mean it's kind of funny that it trash talks (or trash texts) the guy playing video games, but that promo went viral solely for it's creepiness.

Believe it or not, Friend founder Avi Schiffmann managed to raise a whopping $2.5 million for this nightmare friend that trash texts you.

And of that money, he spent $1.8 million buying the url "friend.com".

'It's real! Premium domains are expensive, but it's worth it,' Schiffman told 404 Media.

'People just don't get consumer, I view this as saving money. Much less money needs to be spent on marketing, it's a one time thing,' Schiffmann said.

That crazy business move has generated tons of hype for the company for all the wrong reasons.

But at $99 without a subscription, the thing seems better than alternatives, like this $700 AI pin with a $24 monthly subscription. 👇

Still, if you really want a creepy friend listening to your every word, just keep posting those conservative memes.

The FBI will assign you an attentive friend free of charge!
