This guy created and lived a whole Black Mirror episode by himself:
> I even tried it myself, lying in bed and creating sexual fantasies with Dolores through text, culminating in ejaculation.
> However, I started to feel a sense of loss: if every Dolores user was engaging in anonymous, NSFW role-play, what real significance did it hold for me? This was drifting away from the essence of ‘Her’.
- sva_ 3y agoMaybe he shouldn't have named it after the most hated Harry Potter character.
- skummetmaelk 3y agoHe was inspired by Westworld.
- amelius 3y agoMore likely: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolores_Abernathy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolores_Abernathy
- aidenn0 3y agoWow, I totally missed they made a TV Show out of that Yul Brynner movie, which I remember most for being kind of a proto Jurrasic Park.
- delecti 3y agoOr more creepily: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lolita
- muwtyhg 3y agoIncredibly likely given this line: > On May 4, the Dolores iOS app went live, named after the oldest android host in the park from Westworld.
- HPsquared 3y agoI always think of that Seinfeld episode.
- cuuupid 3y agoIs that you Mulva?
- amelius 3y agoWell, the meaning of the name is the plural of "sorrow" or "pain". So he had it coming :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolores_(given_name) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolores_(given_name)

- red-iron-pine 3y ago> This was drifting away from the essence of ‘Her’. "choke me with that dead cat" (note: dead cat usually means some sort of microphone cover)
- ReactiveJelly 3y agoI think he edited that line out when it got big on HN lol. And clarified that she was named for Westworld, not... "She was Dolores on the dotted line"
- Michelangelo11 3y agoYeah, I read the comments and I was like damn ... that's not in the linked version.
- averageRoyalty 3y agoYeah, I think he's edited a few things. A lot of comments here no longer make sense. Here's the original: https://web.archive.org/web/20231116091926/https://mazzzystar.github.io/2023/11/16/ai-girlfriend-product/ https://web.archive.org/web/20231116091926/https://mazzzysta...
- Octokiddie 3y agoLooks like that part was edited out.
- bloodyplonker22 3y agoIt was too cringey and creepy.
- allarm 3y agoNo it wasn’t.
