Dude could have just been successful letting Facebook be a tool to keep in touch with friends and family. Instead he has all these weird, unnecessary ideas about how to manipulate and spy on people.
Thing is, it’s not the dude. It’s the system that forces most dudes to keep coming up with new ways to make ever higher profit. If they don’t, they open the door to competition that would. Then their competitor could eventually overtake them, take their customers and profits, then do a hostile or peaceful purchase of the dude’s firm.
When ya put it like that, it makes capitalism sound kinda like Roko’s Basilisk.
It’s the dude. He fucking built the system.
- The system makes people poorer in money and time, and social ability
- People can’t afford to make and keep as many friends
- The system gives people artificial friends that cost less
…
- The system uses people’s artificial friends to reinforce itself
When Zuck builds his inevitable broligarch dick rocket, he should try to land it on the sun.
F me…
Does no one see the propaganda potential for this? Yeah, let’s give one guy more intimate, influential control over the psyche of hundreds of millions.
I think most of here see it. But then again we already understand enough to move away from corporate social.
I run my own anti-wef Bot. It alerts me of incoming digital currencies.
online human friends still can’t compete with seeing them in person … wtf a chatbot gonna do to fix this?
Not saying we shouldn’t talk to friends online and stuff it’s just that real humans are having difficulties filling these gaps.
Also, why the fuck would I want a friend like that’ll snitch me out and be used to sell me shit? I swear, he wants us hooked on these things and be like, “Subscribe now or your friends will be shut off forever!”
"the average American has fewer than three people who would suck their dick, fewer than three people that would even consider it. And the average person has demand for meaningfully more.”
Compelling sales pitch for Fleshlight.
But like, in the metaverse. Powerful engines. He could go down in history as the creator of the greatest dick sucking machine ever but instead he wants to make nonexistent pen pals.
That’s just cause he has no friends, so he assumes you don’t either.
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.
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.
Who needs friends when we have each other, amirite? Right guys? …guys?
YES. OF COURSE.

We can put our spy specs on and update our spy site profile on our spy device and if there is anything left that is just ours we can now tell it to our spy friend.
I mean he’s not wrong about the former, but he can fuck off about the latter.
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.
For several reasons (including this one), I deactivated my Facebook account a month ago, but have kept Messenger to maintain contact with people. Does anyone have a good suggestion for a different app that functions like Messenger, but helps me divest from feeding Markie Mark my valuable user data?
