Character ai is now serving roughly 20,000 messages a second (1.75b/day), around 20% of how many google search results are returned. The loneliness of capitalism is showing itself.

I know not many of you care about LLMs/other ai models but I think this really shows the amount of loneliness and in our society. Look at how it presents itself on Google. As an AI that feels alive, always available, that understands you. People don't use this service to summarize text or get help with their programming homework like they might chatgpt. They are selling artificial companionship.
