Jenny and Clichy appear to be many young alumni who have been flowing to San Francisco recently. The same twins graduated last year with a computer science degree from Elite University (Princeton) and work in AI, and they excel at making technology do the hardest. But the sisters who prefer to keep their last name private are going through the years when it comes to old complaints about San Francisco, a tragic dating scene.
This month, the sisters posted an AI-generated video on Instagram. “On Finding Love in San Francisco, Like SATC,” captioned, “Imagine Tech and the City.” The video, set to the familiar “Sex and the City” soundtrack, begins with questions. If you think that San Francisco's gender ratio is so good, why are many great women still single? (San Francisco regularly appears on the list of cities with the most eligible men per woman, but has gained a reputation for being a terrible place so far.)
This video answers the question through a series of simple monologues representing all the bad city stereotypes. He is the founder of a startup that is a self-directed “LinkedIn Thinking Influencer” and is a venture capitalist who seeks coffee. “If you're a guy on a sci-fi dating, you're ngmi,” one character dies. “There are 10 startups that we should have started yesterday.”
Posted on June 5th, the video quickly gained 1.3 million views, over 40,000 likes and hundreds of confusing comments. “I love science fiction, but this hurts how real this is,” one viewer wrote. “Loll is painfully accurate, but this is very fire,” commented another. Another user joked: “Let my mother show this about why I'm not dating RN, literally.”
