This week we're talking about friendship! Or the lack of friendship between these two tech founders who beefed online over their new AI friend hardware. Talk about some people who need to touch grass!
We go over the story of Avi Schiffman the Harvard dropout who went from winning a Webby award for his COVID-19 tracker to building a black mirror piece of tech that makes it even easier to cut off all social ties and lose contact with your humanity. Or take better notes at sales conferences.
Avi is the unlikely arch nemesis of Russian refugee (?!) Nik Shevchenko, who founded Based Hardware an open-source competitor to Avi's Friend AI.
We give you a little overview of how they became such bitter rivals and the unlikely rap battle that settled the AI beef. Text the group chat and enjoy!
