I started watching Inventing Anna last week
Really interesting show, but in particular I am intrigued by the dream tracker app that is pitched in the show.  Previous Message or Hinge. As for the size of the dating portion, "top of the funnel's probably a couple of thousand by now,', she said." They talk like this and they're trying to optimize their dating profiles with AI? I can't imagine why these people are having trouble interacting and dating like normal people.  Previous Message that it signfiicantly blurs the lines between the online/tech world and what's happening in the normal world. It's a similar situation to beltway syndrome in DC, where people emerged in politics don't understand what's happening in the real world.  Previous Message ...it is the predominate force in almost everything we do...but the people in charge of it...especially the younger set are stupid and not based in reality. Or maybe new, over eager, front row sitting employees and founders always have been...maybe it's just everyone's inability to shut the fuck up that drives perception...but my god, these kids suck.  Previous Message while simultaneously dedicating a vast swath of our media and social infrastructure to it.
