What makes things count is most often precisely the effort spent on them.
I wonder if it would be worth creating an app that just sends you on dates using AI. Like, you don't even get to look at the other person's profile. Then afterwards you would report to the app whether you would go on another date with the person you just went out with or not.
I can imagine the AI agents chatting to each other, figuring out what you like. I can see the chain of thought going "I can't say XYZ is lazy and rough, instead I'll say he saves his energy for what really matters, and lives to the full".
So many apps are just image attractiveness scoring plus some superficial conversation with pleasantries, which are both things AI do well at.
Another instance of "Don't Create the Torment Nexus" from the too tech-minded people.
I really liked that episode, it wasn’t quite as dark as some episodes IMHO.
1. you can hire a personal trainer and get shredded
2. you can hire a nutritionist and eat healthier food
3. you can take up an expensive hobby that makes you a more interesting person
4. you can take a online course and learn a skill to increase your income.
Any of the above will increase your chances of attracting someone vs whatever timesink this is.
The whole thing could be a decent April's fool setup. A pity its February.
I suppose, either way, they win!

You'd login to my site and see a list of all the blogs you followed, then you could nominate five of them as people you were interested in.
If they did the same, you'd both get a notification.
It was a cute system and because it was restricted to selecting only from people you already followed it was nice and local. The code was released at the time, but has now become lost in the winds.
I could almost imagine setting it up again for instagram, facebook, or similar, but .. getting users would be hard I imagine, and I'm sure the companies would try to sue or prohibit it.
What would that even mean?
Not the open source part, what is a "zero trust dating app"?
Given what we see in other primates, abusive spouses almost certainly predate anatomically modern humans, while gold diggers will have likely existed from the moment we abstracted money in the sense of "rare shiny rock that is a token of power to be spent in the future".
FWIW I'd personally think most dating apps are taking advantage of people one way or another.
I can definitely see portions of the userbase paying $500/month to use AI to screen out "fats and fems" tho
You'd actually be better off spending $500/mo on an escort or two. Surely they've realised at that price point, that's a serious competitor
New AI features include recaps of previous conversations with other users, daily personalised profile recommendations and profile insights to help users identify who they are more likely to be compatible with.
so basically bullshit?
how thirsty do you have to be do pay for this?
IIRC Tinder premium was cheaper the more attractive you are, because if you attract more people you are less likely to buy it.
