alt Hacker NewsAre AI-assistant-enriched coffee catch ups an actual thing that's happening or is OP inventing scenarios to be mad at?

i have no idea! i have never encountered it. the original blog comes across as a bit larp-y to me, but on the other hand, some weird stuff happens in some circles and/or cities.
Anecdata: I'm receiving them.
There could be a future, in which, during a date, each person granted their personal ai to take part in the conversation and also to exchange information among them, probably first to establish trustworthiness of the person in front of you.
On a date, when the clothes come off I press record (with consent) on my Ai assistant.
The after action report is enlightening.
I've had now-ex friends send me unsolicited ai-slop catch-up messages summarizing their life "since we last spoke".
With remote work the equivalent e.g. a quick social chat on zoom or 1-1 meeting is. We should be picky as to which ones we bring a not taker too.
As for a real coffee shop? There is a YC working on a bolt on recorder for your phone so yes. And black mirror is starting to look like a documentary at this point.
