Will AI Cause, or Cure Loneliness? | Renate Nyborg (Meeno) & Mika Salmi (Lakestar)

Will AI Cause, or Cure Loneliness? - From Tinder CEO to Founding Meeno
After receiving a call from AI legend Andrew Ng, former Tinder CEO Renate Nyborg founded Meeno: a non-judgmental relationship mentoring app, powered by Generative AI. Concerned by the rise of virtual girlfriends and boyfriends, she’s leveraging AI to help Gen Z practice social skills, and build closer IRL friendships and relationships.
With Mika Salmi, Managing Partner of Lakestar joining the discussion, Renate will shed light on the potential of AI to solve societal issues, and reflect on ethical questions that arise when designing technology for social connection. Sit by the fireside to explore Virtue and Vice, philosophy and psychology, and the bleeding-edge of AI.

So, she basically ruined dating for many and did a terrible terrible service for society while managing Tinder. She was ruining force. She isn't only a greedy hypocritical person, she also isn't a moral authority. It's not clear why people should listen to what she has to say.

We don't more of what she's selling. Neither the product nor the selling itself. Addition by subtraction please.
