So does people.

This.

👆🏼this. They do not give a rat’s ass about your friendship needs. Social media was a mistake. Yes I’m aware I’m saying this on a social media site.

Much as JFK said about going to the moon, we form close friendships not because it is easy, but because it is hard. The value is in the slow, sometimes bumpy ride to knowing someone well. Being overjoyed to see them sometimes, or guiltily evading them other times. AI gives you none of this.

I'm sure some people will prefer robots it's probably unhealthy but look at what's popular today. 🤷‍♂️ People like that only care about pleasure not what's true.

Good thing I only watch free porn

He looks more ridiculous and removed from other humans every day.

Another man made “crisis”! Since critical thinking has hit an all time low, META should have plenty of takers.

Cam the film previewed this years back. Industrialization of AI doppelgangers for profit (also will strip mine value out of the influencing business).

Before, I only saw this type of content on Facebook. With continued enshitification, it’s time to leave Instagram, too. Meanwhile, on TikTok, people run paid tutorials on how to trick Facebook and Instagram users into buying deep-porn.

Sometimes I regret having children. The people in this world are looking in all the wrong places for happiness.

And Zuck can’t even get that many.

Absophuquinglutely

Can confirm this anecdotally.

one of the most antisocial people has made social media his raison d’être. anything he creates will be twisted to mirror his undeveloped skill with actual people (which is painfully apparent with each public appearance.)

No- he has no idea what it means to be a friend Ppl are only nice to him because he’s rich. Same with Elon. These guys are so desperate to be looked at as cool or funny. Problem is those are 2 things you can’t buy. Just like you can’t buy true friendship

Nope.

No, and I also think anyone who has been extremely wealthy for years falls into the same category. The people around them want to be part of their lifestyle and most of them trust no one. They don’t have friends.

Not for the last twenty years at a minimum.

This is a broad trend in society. Bad ideas rise to the top because nobody will tell the powerful that their ideas are bad. It reinforces itself, and we all continue to pay the price.

Have you read CARELESS PEOPLE? It's really well written and confirms everything you'd think about him.

I’m sure that sounded as stilted and forced in person as your description reads.

Yep, it's very good (although the author downplays her complicity imo).

The only friends he had in that movie all hate him now. It's got to be hard coping with that level of cognitive dissonance.

Still hoping for the sequel where we get to see Jesse Eisenberg be a sweaty robot at a Congressional hearing.

For a more recent insider account of what Zuckerberg and his inner circle of out-of-touch sociopaths have been up to I heartily recommend Sarah Wynn-Williams’ book “Careless People” published this past March.

No. But I think he genuinely thinks he would like this. Meetings where he desn't need to look anyone in the eye. Friends programmed to say the correct response. Someone who will just listen to him talk about trains for an hour.

Bingo

For sure, but in fairness, this guy is getting manipulated all the fucking time 🙃 look at how many bad bets and gormless bullshit his career is full of. Rich people probably believe the rest of us are also *this* lonely because their own lives are so meaningless

No, but I do think it will be funny to teach him. I have enough friends and will make it very apparent.

I don't think anyone with that much money can be. Even in the most normal interactions, the money's always in the background. When you add that on top of the fact he's a dude who made that money turning friendship into a video game, yeah I truly believe he has fewer than three friends. Three fewer.

No He hasn’t had a real friend in 20 years, minimum

He’s never had a friend

Flat no

Like Elon, Peter Thiel and other Incel Valley fuckwads, he has no concept of human relationships.

Meta is solving the loneliness problem by intensifying the isolation from real people. What a novel idea.

Exactly. It is like dating someone exactly like yourself. Narcissists would love that. Most people would lose interest after a short while.

Do we really need tech to make up imaginary friends? I thought talking to inanimate objects like they're people was classified as a mental disorder.

📌

Oh boy, fake friends I am above average, way above so you keep ‘em all Suckerberg

Do these friends have legs?

what world does he live in, come to my neighborhood and see how many friends there are

If they're chatbots they're not friends, it's a computer blowing sunshine up your ass.

Why does this dweeb have to make his shortcomings all of our problem?

He is in a unique position to do an experiment Institute a 20 hour work week, maybe 24 hour max Productivity over last 40 years has gone up which easily justifies a decrease in hours If all Meta employees suddenly had more time to hang w/ friends, do they now average more than 3 friends?

bsky.app/profile/jooc...

Take every dime away from this man and then shoot him into the sun.

Why is he dressed up like Woody Allen?

If you have these chatbots as friends- you don’t need enemies anymore!!!

If I had to be friends with Trump and Vance and Miller and Musk, I'd want to have fake friends, too.

Classic PROJECTION!

Zuck really telling on himself here

If they weren't so universally repugnant and lacking in empathy or decency, perhaps they might not need to be friends with AI chat bots.

I just don’t see how this is necessary in life.

Wtaf is this shit

One more thing to place in the "I think I'll leave facebook" weighing-scale pan:

tRump only has people he can manipulate and get what he wants out of them, and by any cost as long as he’s not losing anything.

Let them eat cake?

This!

Just gonna mention here that Zuck does not have a degree in sociology, psychology or being human.

@theonion.com I legit thought this was one of your headlines but instead it shows how difficult your job is these days

He looks so stupid and ugly in that pair of glasses.

Mark needs to stop projecting.

This is so odd, considering the more people I meet, the further and further my demand for friends falls. Accordingly, my Friend Demand Meter™ app says I currently need -2.6 friends.

Every day makes it more clear that Zuckerberg has never interacted with a human being in his entire life.

I use it to post photos to my remaining friends all over the country only. It has become a foreign place to me and I joined in the beginning. Full of S F M and fools who act unaware of this crisis.

Wow, this is sad. What if we placed (well-trained) chatbots in environments where they could serve a more noble purpose - teaching people how to be better friends! By interacting with trained chatbots, perhaps kids (and adults) could learn the skills needed to fill the gap with real people! Win-Win

His comments sound like projection from a lonely ass dork who has more money than god, but is still just a miserable lonely ass dork.

What an incredibly stupid person lol

I prefer none that "ai" bullshit.

Is he reminiscing about his school days?

Are you struggling to meet your daily friendship quotas? Displaying loyalty to Friend Computer will make you happy! Happiness is mandatory.

Spoken like someone who didn’t have many friends (and probably screwed the few friends he had) as a kid.

What a douche

Has anyone read "The Machine Stops" by EM Forster?

The death of third places is looking more and more deliberately engineered by the day

Yeah it is. This is so, so grim.

honestly, though, would you let Marc Zuckerberg join your bowling league?

*terms and conditions may apply 😜

Also culls the clamoring masses in my social calendar.

I’m mean it has potential

I have 0 friends so how about that!

Amen, having to deal with 15 friends sounds like TORTURE.

How do you tell the world you are damaged without telling them you’re damaged.

Of course that average skews downward thanks to people like Zuckerberg himself, who has no friends.

Just because Zuck has no friends doesn’t mean we don’t You can’t replace humans

This is more sad for him than the people who have friends and proof that something made rarely expands beyond the objectives and motives of its flawed creator. There’s a social network out there designed by an actual good person waiting to be made that builds off of Facebook. Maybe one day.

This guy was wanting his sex chatbots to talk to your kids, that is until the WSJ outed him. Now he's trying to keep the sex chat bots just to adults; like alcohol, guns, and porn What could go wrong? www.wsj.com/tech/ai/meta...

Beep boop...Friend 13 Now Online...Beep Boop...You still have 2 Friend Slots left...Beep Boop...you may upgrade your Friend Slots with a paid subscription if you would like more than 15 Friends... Friend 13: Hello, fellow youth!

Has he ever considered he has no friends because he's a tedious cunt?

If he had friends surely they'd have carried out an intervention over his wardrobe and styling

If it’s true, it’s sad. And AI is certainly not the solution.

Just pitiful

We’re all just quantized data packets to Zuck.

Sociopath.

Maybe if Meta didn't demand extended work hours their staff would have more time to make more friends. www.efinancialcareers.com/news/working...

What dystopian hellshit is this?

Even long distance, I tried talking about movies with an AI, but they just kept reflecting my questions back at me. I wanted them to have an opinion, which is of course impossible. Meta can try to fake it, but sooner or later the lack of personality will become obvious. Only good for narcissists.

Mark Zuckerborg thinks we need more AI friends. I hate this fucking timeline.

AI may not be able to physically help you, but can do a lot to hurt you. This is an opportunity to display loyalty, citizen.

Zuckerberg has yet to find good look.

This guy needs to spend some time watching Black Mirror

Sounds like a therapy session for Zuckerberg.

This is actually a great summation of how any executive or billionaire thinks: “Number go up mean good”

No interest in having 15 "friends" but if I did, I'd be pissed if they never came to my cookouts.
