And of course they want a credit card on file for “age verification” 😉 or they won’t let you chat with the bots
This is an AI sex chat service, 1-900 numbers from the 80’s brought online, hahahahahaha. I’m sure there’s a market for it, but … yeah, wow.

Hey, Calculon’s back!
I actually like that word. Feels like something out of a dystopian sci-fi novel.

Or like it’s how Poe from Altered Carbon would describe himself.
I’d like it more if it weren’t a trademark.
Well the best part about trademark law is that if you’re too good and you become the ‘generic’ term then you lose protection.
I don’t believe you, I’ll Google it myself.
Let us all recount our favourite synthespians from various companies then
And that’s not just this one - thats 90% of all available dating-services
That’s one of the big things that came out of the Ashley Madison hack, it wasn’t just user profiles, it was site data too. Most of the womens profiles were fake.
There was just a (Wired?) Article about being an only fans contract chatter, not a bot, but a low paid worker.

I always click on annoying ads just to fuck with their ad budget, this appeared after clicking on a fake download button.
Just curious, how does this affect companies’ ad budget if you disinterestedly click on ads?
Because someone paid for that click, and will spend more money because of “how many clicks” they got.
Basically, clicking on ads you aren’t interested in wastes someone’s money (and makes money for the site, depending on how the ads are bought/placed).
That assumes they are paying perclick, and you are exchanging your time for their cost. If it makes you happy because it pays for the site, go for it, but you are probably costing the ad buyers a tiny fraction of a penny per click.
I don’t disagree. If I chose to do that, I’d automate it, but there’s no guarantee that they are using a paid-per-click ad.
Ads on website pay on a “pay for each click” basis. So for each click I waste 5 cents of their budget and hopefully end the campaign a bit earlier than expected
In theory, whomever is running the ad pays per click or w/e. In practice, it does nothing but expose your own system to potential risk.
Yeah no, it’s all right, you guys - it’s a synthespian.
