Honestly, even with AI performance hitting new highs, everyone is already numb. But have you ever thought about it? Making AI truly understand what you're angry about, what you're anxious about, and move at your pace—this isn't something that can be achieved simply by stacking computing power.

There's a project called Kindred that is exploring this direction—they're not working on cold, data-spitting robots, but aiming to create "relational AI." Their flagship product, Companion, is centered on teaching AI to understand human emotional fluctuations, rather than just responding according to a script.

Can this path be successful? The market will provide the answer.
