    this feels like the social media equivlant of West World pre meltdown. That is to say, It’s a tourist atraction full of robots where an unseen actor is allowing you to live out a fantacy using their living dolls. The thing that makes it worse is unlike the film, We (now) know the money value of emotionally minipulating people (caugh casinos built into everything caugh).

    SocialAI comes across as sort of a joke, or maybe some kind of meta-commentary on the concept of social media and cheap engagement, particularly after creator Michael Sayman helpfully explained: “now we can all know what Elon Musk feels like after acquiring Twitter for $44 billion, but without having to spend $44 billion.” He also says it’s “designed to help people feel heard,” though, and is ostensibly a way to help people avoid feeling isolated.

    Mike gets it. This is only the next logical step in social media. Why risk losing the ad revenue of users who feel more isolated using social media if they stop using the platform? Solution: ai sycophants that tell you you’re pretty.

      Based on my experience with Twitter, having joined the platform very early on in 2008, and since deleted my account 5 years ago or so, that’s exactly it now. 90% of posts on Twitter are by those looking for self validation rather than anything really constructive. The blue checkmarks don’t matter, the “community context” or whatever hasn’t lead to any change. It’s wild that the way to defeat Twitter, which is to get off Twitter, is something few are doing.
