Impressive how a single guy pathology shaped an entire generation and the internet

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 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

Of course he would say that, Chatbots are the only friends he has.

How people still use meta products is beyond me

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)

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 could live out the remainder of my life without using a Zuckerberg product and be totally fine with that.

Not even opening that. I’m tired of these clickbait and hatebait articles.

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.

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.

Fuck you four eyes

Thanks, Cinco!

He’s half-right.

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.
