Those are proven ways to build lasting relationships while living a fulfilling life. That's incompatible with dating apps. Tech founders need repeat subscribers. They want to dangle the possibility of love as if it's a jackpot atop the slot machine in the casino. Sometimes someone wins, but the goal is to get as many people as possible to believe that can be them if only they keep spinning the wheel as many times as possible in a gamified caricature of dating.
- jprete 3y agoI can't understand how anyone thinks we're capable of aligning AGI when we can't even align tech founders. Corporations are a proto-AGI, and they're the least aligned entities I can think of.
- tempoponet 3y agoDivorce rates were skyrocketing before online dating became mainstream, so I'd challenge your statement that meeting IRL "build(s) lasting relationships while living a fulfilling life". The truth is most people are meeting their spouses in the apps, as painful as it is. Bars are far worse for most people, and many people don't want to get hit on at the gym, while running errands, or at their job.
