Optifye.ai is a dystopian company backed by Y Combinator. They’re using AI to further dehumanise and abuse individual factory workers and treat them like disposable automatons.
See a now deleted post where they show how it works:
The founders look to be a couple of rich kids with little world and work experience:
We’re CS grads from Duke and because our families run manufacturing companies (…)
They also display a profound lack of empathy by bragging about lowering stress for rich company owners, which they do by increasing the stress of everyone who works for them:
Know any manufacturing company owners?
Let us know at founders@optifye.ai, and we’ll help them drop their cortisol levels :)
This is the AI world we all know is coming, brought to you by Y Combinator investors and founders. It doesn’t “benefit humanity”, it just serves to “put you in your place”.
