Friend User Interview #1 Watch Now:

I'm depressed for this kid

Demonic. You think this is good? This is a kid crying out for help and your evil product is going to push him to suicide. This is not healthy behavior. You are either too stupid to see that, or you are evil and don’t care.

So there is a 100% chance this kid is gay and the sooner he realises that the happier he will be.

dystopian maxxing is hilariously clever to lean into the public discourse like this I fkn love it

so this whole thing is an art piece

I don't think this video is nessasarily artistic I think just most videos are very bland

more so the approach with friend in general is fundamentally artistic i am a fan

thx haha it is ultimately my goal to make something culturally relevant. there is an ultimate thing I have been working on and will take a few more years but I think will be the main piece of art of the next decade. it's all got purpose...

For a very large number of reasons that some here will understand, I literally can't tell if this video is a parody

Biggest troll in the startup scene, you can't not love it

big song choice at the end there

glad someone noticed

@9ranty please what is this song ??? i love it great job avi looking forward to full film someday

@9ranty Haha it's actually from the virgin suicides soundtrack. Editor did a great job!

Bit weird ngl

This kid probably needs therapy, and needs to learn to accept who he is. But probably never will now because of Friend. Are you happy?

Remarkably sweet for a video styled like a Black Mirror episode.

Makes sense the first ever user interview u managed was a child

honestly, this guy absolutely DOESN'T look like he uses the app a lot.

Micah is one of our most helpful users, great feedback always. I really appreciate that he let us come by & film this with him

this is genuinely so fascinating

@shweta_ai trying my best

wtf did I just watch

this series would make for a great documentary if you spend more time with them and follow up in 1, 2, 5 years

idk feels weird

Noo! This is the worst for introverts and especially for people who avoid the friction of actual human relationships out of fear. There is risk in the real world and we are all burdens! Isolating yourself in a world where you erase your dependence on others insulates you from the

Troubled kid. Doesn’t want to burden the humans around him but happy talking to his Friend AI which he uses, effortlessly and automatically, all the time, whether he’s singing in his bedroom or jumping on the trampoline. He seems bolstered by it. I found this foreign but sweet.

there is just no way

weird af :/

Amazing job avi. Speaking to an audience way outside of sf/nyc demographic is hard & important

this is fire…. love the air at the end

Genius

He's Back
