>and this happened in pretty much every significant business meeting

i think the point being made is that you typically didn't bring your secretary with you, notepad and pen in hand, when you went down to the local coffee shop to catch up with someone.

Are AI-assistant-enriched coffee catch ups an actual thing that's happening or is OP inventing scenarios to be mad at?

[hahahaa]

With remote work the equivalent e.g. a quick social chat on zoom or 1-1 meeting is. We should be picky as to which ones we bring a not taker too.

As for a real coffee shop? There is a YC working on a bolt on recorder for your phone so yes. And black mirror is starting to look like a documentary at this point.

There could be a future, in which, during a date, each person granted their personal ai to take part in the conversation and also to exchange information among them, probably first to establish trustworthiness of the person in front of you.

So… it’s essentially computers entering into relationships on behalf of their human subscribers thus acting as a personality shim between each one of the people ensuring compatibility which will abruptly expire upon termination of the subscription…

Žižek gets real!

i have no idea! i have never encountered it. the original blog comes across as a bit larp-y to me, but on the other hand, some weird stuff happens in some circles and/or cities.

Anecdata: I'm receiving them.

On a date, when the clothes come off I press record (with consent) on my Ai assistant.

The after action report is enlightening.

Ah, I see you studied on Beta Colony, where they have a very logical approach to such things. /vorkosigan-saga-reference

Found Dennis Reynolds' HN account.

Are you a guy or a girl?

[Ancapistani]

Maybe?

[dmitrygr]

I've had now-ex friends send me unsolicited ai-slop catch-up messages summarizing their life "since we last spoke".

You should reply and see if you get an agent reply.
