Sometimes it takes visual form, sometimes it doesn't.

I heard also that this is happening in tech companies as well.

So like at Meta, they have people creating their digital twins, their agent that kind of like knows everything, does everything, can respond effectively.

in real time to incoming requests, you know, from other employees, not just from Mark Zuckerberg.

I think the initial, from what I heard from Meta too, they initially wanted everyone at the company to kind of have these and then they realized they don't have the bandwidth to do that.

But a lot of Meta employees are just super AI pilled anyway and creating their own like open claw type agents and stuff that effectively act as their digital twins.

Yeah, I found it less about, like, emotional support and more about just, like, overwhelmed.

Like, we are all so completely overwhelmed.

I literally went to this thing called ClawCon in Hollywood last night to, like, learn how to set up my, like, open claw bot or whatever.

Because, like, I think, like, we all want to outsource things.

And also just average people are being asked to do more and more with the rise of AI.

And so I think they're seeking to automate.

these like life tasks.

And especially it sounds like at big companies, like UBS is using these digital twins of their analysts so that their clients that operate around the world can effectively like, you know, ask questions back and forth.

And I was asking, you know, representative from Synesthesia, this company that produces a lot of this technology.

I think they work with 90% of Fortune 100 companies.

yeah, they make like digital, they're an AI company that has like lots of products, but this is a big product of it.

But what they're doing, like it sounds dystopian, but like what the representative was saying is like, listen, they used to like have to reach out, they'd get a PDF, you know, like a hundred page PDF answering their questions.

They'd have to dig through the clients, you know, it'd be eight hours later.

And it is much easier to have this like sort of easy consumer digital interface that you can just sort of chat with anytime that has that
