Joi AI hired 10 people to masturbate using AI companions as part of a monthlong “wellness” study. The company claims the practice could help “solve male loneliness.”
“…research project run by Joi AI, which is promoting a daily guided “jerk off with purpose” masturbation tool combining “sound [and] ritual” as part of its professed goal to “solve male loneliness.””
“…The website costs a minimum of $3.99 a month to access, but users are likely to spend far more on the platform, with 10,000 “Joi neuron” coins costing $99.99 and private videos from companions costing 1,000 neurons.”
“We’re going to bait men in to a subscription service they’ll feel emotionally attached to that they will never tell another living soul about. This will solve male loneliness. We would certainly never manipulate these same men for nefarious reasons”

It literally costs neurons… Wow
Well, of course it does, but how much do you have to pay?
So it’s like a mix of a porn paysite and spirituality?
And AI because it’s 2026
