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.
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.
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.
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.
- 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
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.
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!”
"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.
How people still use meta products is beyond me
Whatsapp for my family group, Instagram rarely to keep with my friends (I’m gen z)
older people, and some right wingers do.
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 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.
Of course he would say that, Chatbots are the only friends he has.
android-zuckerborg talking to chatbots, he is among friends.
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.
Who needs friends when we have each other, amirite? Right guys? …guys?
YES. OF COURSE.
Not even opening that. I’m tired of these clickbait and hatebait articles.
