AI sized up my X account and worked out what happens to me when the machines rise

Dating is becoming decentralized.

AI agents no longer need users to fill out yet another profile. The digital footprint already exists across the web — the missing piece is understanding and connecting those signals into a coherent identity.

The next great consumer company may not build another destination. It may build the identity layer that works everywhere.

Everyone is talking about the new dating startup from Hinge's founder.

The idea is simple: collect signals that are still hard to fake, let AI analyze them, and build matching on top.

Many people are excited because of the founder's track record. Fair enough—Hinge became Match Group's fastest-growing product.

But is the idea itself that strong?

It feels more like faith in AI than evidence that deep personality analysis can actually predict attraction. The visual filter hasn't disappeared, and we still don't have large, reliable datasets of genuinely successful long-term couples to train on.

AI can analyze people. Whether it can predict chemistry is a very different question.

Some estimates suggest that up to 60% of posts and comments may now be bot-generated, while up to 40% of profiles could be human-operated bot accounts.

This is not just spam. In places like Russia, coordinated bot networks are used to push regime-friendly narratives and distort public opinion.

The next AI safety challenge is not only model behavior — it is social reality itself.

For the first time, Russia’s 2nd-largest internet company has faced a major App Store block — including VK Dating, now the country’s top dating app by revenue.

This could seriously reshape the Russian dating market, especially iOS traffic and payments.

Dating apps are not built on photos or swipes. They are built on one signal: “I’m open to meeting someone.”

If that signal moves outside the app, every verified profile on the internet becomes dateable.

Dating businesses live or die by one loop: turn revenue from last cohort into acquisition for the next one.

[Sergey S @rastrub]

Hot take: most “dating apps” don’t optimize for love. They optimize for sessions.

If your feed never forces you to be specific, safe, and honest, it’s a slot machine with pretty photos.

Want real progress? Demand better matching logic + transparent safety.

[Sergey S @rastrub]

Dating isn’t short on apps—it’s short on trustworthy signals. One platform update worth noticing: Tinder is testing photo verification to reduce catfishing. If you care about genuine connection, “prove you’re you” features aren’t optional—they’re the baseline for innovation.

Бармен принимает доллар чаевых (к счёту на 5 баксов) без уважения, без радости. Больше не даю.

Надо сделать такое приложение, чтобы показывало оптовую цену товара. Чтобы ходишь по магазинам и можно было торговаться.

@weeteg шёл мимо Карачарово. Вернее, как раз не дошёл.

[Sergey S @rastrub]

@weeteg да, вообще хорошо. Прошёл километра три, а потом передумал идти и решил поехать на таксо.
