Mark Zuckerberg Thinks You Don't Have Enough Friends and His Chatbots Are the Answer

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.
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.
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.
Impressive how a single guy pathology shaped an entire generation and the internet
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!"
That’s just cause he has no friends, so he assumes you don’t either.
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.
How people still use meta products is beyond me
older people, and some right wingers do.
"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.
Bit of projection there, Mr. Suck.
Dude made Facebook because he had trouble getting a girlfriend and even now, with near infinite money, needs to make a chatbot because he still can't make friends.
Of course he would say that, Chatbots are the only friends he has.
android-zuckerborg talking to chatbots, he is among friends.
Dammit, Zuck! You don't have to hide behind a "chatbot", just fucking tell me if you want to be my friend.
Also, no. But be fucking honest about it.
A platform with so many people and that knows so much about them, if they really wanted to slap AI on it why not an AI matchmaker for making friends?
Want to make it profitable? Sell activities through it. "Meet a potential friend and go bowling, click to buy your ticket". While FB siphon off a bit of profit on the ticket sales.
Is that so? Will the chatbots help me pack a van when I need to move? Will they stand next to me at my wedding? I'm thrilled to hear that bots can finally replace friends! (Something the people have been clamoring for)
Who needs friends when we have each other, amirite? Right guys? …guys?
YES. OF COURSE.
I'm not! Seriously, I see kids of that age everyday at work and they're neither better nor worse than we were; maybe even better.
I would rather talk with the guards in Whiterun than your chatbot, zuck.
My cousin's out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Chat duty.
That is one of the sickest burns I've read in a while.
I already know a couple of people who already talk to chatbots as if they were their friends. This is so depressing... And by the current state of things, I might be reading bot publications and replying to bots here and there, without knowing. That just increases my will to die
I'm wondering whether this is a privileged/feels like deserves privilege white guy thing.
Down here with the queerdos and minorities, I'm seeing people engage more fully with each other, be more willing to take on friends and lovers, in the last few months.
Some are getting caught by chat bots, yes, but a lot of people are out there trying to grab human connection while we still can.
I certainly feel like the "I'm the übermensch and revel in cruelty, empathy is a weakness" mentality that the straight basic wypipo have adopted will not only discourage other people from wanting to be their friend, but also discourages themselves from seeking friendship, because they see it as a weakness.
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 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.
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.
I could live out the remainder of my life without using a Zuckerberg product and be totally fine with that.
You would in fact be better off.
No Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram, Occulus Rift. And of course whatever else they will buy up in the future.
Fuck you four eyes
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.
Guys a fuckin' dweeb
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 about.
Correct, I have no friends, and I intend to keep it that way.
Detached
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 don’t need friends. I’m married.
I don't know Mark, I might not, but at least I have good friends. Can you say the same for yourself?
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.
We don't want to chat with you Zuck.
He's half-right.
I'd love to see the source for this "3 friends" statistic, that sounds like a mountain of bullshit.
The enshitification of everything continues
android zuckerberg married to a human wife.
He thinks that based on the few years of bots people already talking to on his platforms. Wait for the announcement and see his creepy smile on stage while he says “you already been doing it and that’s ok”. Just. Like. Everything. Else.
He's right, and none of my friends even post to Facebook anymore (neither do I).
Thanks, Cinco!
I don’t. But that’s by design.
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.
Why do you act like this is a bad thing? You just described how it's supposed to work.
Look at Tom from MySpace. He had it all. Got overtaken by the competition. Now he just travels the world, takes pictures, and does whatever the fuck he wants.
Zuck is never going to want for a damn thing for the rest of his life. The fact that he hasn't just fucked off to paradise is a Zuck problem.
When ya put it like that, it makes capitalism sound kinda like Roko's Basilisk.
Does he really need to do that though? Isn’t he the majority shareholder and he can essentially do what he wants?
It’s the dude. He fucking built the system.
No, they can continue to make the same profit and still not open the door for competition. The need for ever-higher profits is driven by investors.
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 write the code.
They settled a lawsuit for a lot of money, at the time.
Same with all of these tech bros. The dude from Reddit said he's anticipating the destruction of the country because he thinks only he's ordained to rule over what's left. Him and his accelerationist pal Musky.
