    What Exactly Is Friend AI? Interview with Adam Lisagor and Kailee McGee
    Aug 6 2024

    After getting burned by Humane’s Ai Pin and Rabbit R1, we’ve been skeptical of AI gadgets. But a new device called Friend entered the chat, so we interviewed Adam Lisagor of Sandwich Video and “Friend” trailer director Kaylee McGee about their first hand experience with this new type of AI wearable. We get pretty philosophical too, like free will kind of stuff.
