Online Dating Sucks

<!--Caution. Some broken hyperlinks ahead-->

Online dating is ripe for disruption

If users fail to find love, they need to pay more — renewing subscriptions and paying for premiums to boost visibility. Every missed connection is revenue for the apps. But if users succeed and find love, the platforms lose not one, but two paying customers. That’s the paradox at the heart of the industry: the more effective they are, the faster they kill their own business. See story

Attract the person who feels magnetic to you

Online dating sucked until I discovered the secret code — the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. I realized attraction isn’t about promoting yourself. It’s about drawing in the one who feels magnetic to you. See story

Not just more matches and deeper matches: Magnetic Matches™

In 34 years of dating, I’ve never made more meaningful matches than in the past 14 months. The difference wasn’t luck — it was a new system. See story

Size matters

These apps track your every click, tap and pause with laser precision. Upload a photo? Easy. Set your location? Done. Choose your age range? No problem. But then comes the hard part: writing your profile. That’s when people hesitate. They stall. They exit. And every exit is a lost revenue opportunity. See story

I just quit every online dating app

Dating apps don’t profit when you succeed. They profit when you fail — when you keep swiping, keep paying, keep coming back after another heartbreak. They erode trust. And once trust is broken, it’s almost impossible to recover. I’m done playing that game. See story

From Nash to Zuckerberg to MagneticMatch™

Two of the greatest minds of the last century had the same “aha” moment–both started with sex. In A Beautiful Mind, John Nash’s breakthrough comes when he realizes his equilibrium model is wrong — and he sees it while strategizing how to get laid. In The Social Network, Mark Zuckerberg’s creation of Facebook is also sparked by the same impulse — the desire to get laid. See story

From Steve Jobs and Bill Gates to MagneticMatch™

Where Jobs humanized hardware and Gates standardized software, MagneticMatch will humanize and standardize intelligence itself — to make adaptive, trustworthy AI feel as natural as breathing and as inevitable as the operating systems beneath it. See story

My name is Alan Jacobson. I'm a web developer, UI designer and AI systems architect.

I have 13 patent applications pending before the United States Patent and Trademark Office. They are designed to prevent the kinds of tragedies you can read about here.

I want to license my AI systems architecture to the major LLM platforms—ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Llama, Co‑Pilot, Apple Intelligence—at companies like Apple, Microsoft, Google, Amazon and Facebook.

Collectively, those companies are worth $15.3 trillion. That’s trillion, with a “T” — twice the annual budget of the government of the United States. What I’m talking about is a rounding error to them.

With those funds, I intend to stand up 1,414 local news operations across the United States to restore public safety and trust.

AI will be the most powerful force the world has ever seen.

A free, robust press is the only force that can hold it accountable.
