"Hello there, fellow Humans."
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 come up with newer ways to grow and make 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.
It’s the dude. He fucking built the system.
Does he really need to do that though? Isn’t he the majority shareholder and he can essentially do what he wants?

Until you listen to the Behind the Bastards on him and realize FB started out as a women hotness rating system local to his college. There was no benign origin here.
That doesn’t sound quite right to me. Wasn’t FaceMash the thing for rating girls from campus. The Facebook was born from the idea of the Winklevoss twins who asked him to right the code.
They settled a lawsuit for a lot of money, at the time.

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.

Who needs friends when we have each other, amirite? Right guys? …guys?
YES. OF COURSE.
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.
We don't want to chat with you Zuck.
I would rather talk with the guards in Whitehokd than your chatbot, zuck.
That is one of the sickest burns I've read in a while.
My cousin's out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Chat duty.
From the metaverse to his new AI fueled drivel. Zuckerberg has been very busy trying to convince us to divest from the real world and submerge ourselves into his virtual worlds of delight. Up to this point his products have been pure shit. But I worry the time will come where better engineered "mirrors in our cages" will succeed where the Zuck is just flopping abount.
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.
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.
I don't know Mark, I might not, but at least I have good friends. Can you say the same for yourself?
The enshitification of everything continues
That’s just cause he has no friends, so he assumes you don’t either.
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.
Correct, I have no friends, and I intend to keep it that way.
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.
Guys a fuckin' dweeb
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.
Fuck you four eyes
I'd love to see the source for this "3 friends" statistic, that sounds like a mountain of bullshit.
