- People can’t afford to make and keep as many friends
- The system gives people artificial friends that cost less

And to gather marketing Intel on the victim, I mean customer.
Then use that to sell them products and adjust their worldview in profitable ways.
They will take the marketing data, sell the data, and then offer a service to guide users to use a product with the bots.
User: I am so busy and stressed out rn
Bot: Aw, I’m so sorry. When I am stressed I like to play Candy Crush Saga 2 and eat Doritos’ new spicy matcha flavor, available at most retail locations.
- Artificial friends eat man, woman inherits the earth.
I would rather talk to a 37 year old human with a hello kitty pfp on some obscure otacore furry/anime forum that absolutely nobody has heard of than give your dogshit AI skinwalkers ten seconds of my attention dawg.
You took my routine. My health. My taste in music, the books I read, the places I go, the movies I watch. My every aspiration and passing thought was a transactional end point for slop firms.
I will die old and lonely before I let you turn my friendships into a fucking commodity LMAO.
I don’t. But that’s by design.
Fuck you four eyes
Who needs friends when we have each other, amirite? Right guys? …guys?
YES. OF COURSE.
Guys a fuckin’ dweeb
He doesn’t think much of anything himself. He’s a scared little boy, because that’s where he cut his teeth. He has no vision for anything, just reaction and fear.
I mean he’s not wrong about the former, but he can fuck off about the latter.
Making fun of Zuck and his chatbots is a good way to bond with friends.
I don’t need friends. I’m married.
When Zuck builds his inevitable broligarch dick rocket, he should try to land it on the sun.
You sir, deserve an upvote. Funniest shit I read so far today.
Not even opening that. I’m tired of these clickbait and hatebait articles.
Funny, less than an hour ago I heard Ed Zitron speculate that these uber-rich tech bros invent these things because they don’t know how to socialise, and they think everybody is like that.
he’s right. I don’t have any friends.
because I refuse to use his shitty platform and every human I have came in contact with for my entire life is so hollow and selfish they can’t interact with a human being without some form of technology.
so I come on lemmy and harass fascist supporting scum as a hobby.
I tried making a new FB account recently, strictly for business purposes and they suspended my account immediately. Looked it up and apparently it’s pretty common. I was shocked at first but am now happy they did that. Fuck FB.
Now that the US has actual concentration camps and actual Nacht und Nebel disappearances, not to mention arrests of judges and political enemies, we have a lot of folk who have been promoted from silent bystander to collaborator or complicit in the imminent holocaust.
The next step for the regime is to decide imprisonment of the undesirables is too expensive and we should proceed to evacuation (id est, mass execution).
The complicit category includes every elected or appointed official that continues to cooperate with the current government without obstructing procedure until the facilities are closed and prisoners set free, including those on foreign soil. Democrats included.
The one and only good thing about having less friends than in my teens is that I have more time to focus on work, which makes me money (directly proportional to how much I bill my clients). That and being able to move off Facebook because my friends are on Signal and Telegram.
Now, Zuck thinks I want fake AI friends so I could spend hours per day on Messenger again? Hell nah. I’ll go grab a beer in the pub or message one of my remaining real friends. If I dedicate my life to chatbots, I’ll soon have even fewer.
Trading youth for slaving away for capitalism is lame tho.
Money can’t buy youth and when it’s gone it’s gone.
Wake me up when there’s a system out there where I don’t need money to buy a home or go on vacation somewhere warm when it’s -30 outside. Unfortunately I don’t have a trust fund, so for now it’s work rather than drinking every day and tons of extremely shallow friendships. To be clear, I’m not saying I don’t have friends, I’m just saying I no longer have hundreds of people on Facebook I could just randomly message “what’s up” to without it being considered weird. Now it’s down to maybe 10-20 people who would help me hide a body if I called them at 3 AM.
