Waiting on the edge of my seat for the bot to tell critics to check their privilege

And even better? They don’t allow you to block it.

the words “let’s chat” have never in the history of human interaction led to anything constructive

Ok I'm rooting for the Cylons now, we deserve it.

Racist.

I saw this a minute ago and was physically repelled. Somehow it’s even worse than I expected it to be. These companies must be reigned in and the bleak thing is I have no idea how that will ever happen.

It's like that stupid Apple commercial but ten times more offensive on every level. Tech companies are trying to build a simulacrum of human culture but are only capable of programmatic mimicry, which produces howlingly off-putting and dead eyed golems.

"howlingly off-putting and dead eyed golems."

Can I just take a minute to congratulate you for coming up with this poetic little descriptor 👏

df1.bsky.social•56 days ago

Thank you!

digital blackface taken to its logical conclusion

I don't get it, what is the point of these? They seem like the worst part of social media. Why make more of it?

dirtbagqueer.rocks•56 days ago

the people who own and design these platforms do not understand why people use them

seegy.bsky.social•56 days ago

That is very true. The only reason I have Facebook is for the marketplace and for my kids' activities. And I try and sign up for notifications to show me my kids' activities stuff first, and you know what, it won't show me that stuff.

Did you get to the part where they used a straight Latina woman as one of the models? Unbelievably hideous shit

btw the answer to “why would they do this???” is always To Impress Investors (who are the stupidest people on earth)

bbjay-716.bsky.social•56 days ago

the dumbest marketing people are just itching to hand over obscene amounts of money because the “engagement numbers” have them hypnotized like a baby with keys in front of them

byronic.bsky.social•56 days ago

who needs DAUs if I can just manufacture them? Frankly I feel like this is just a click farm replacement that you don't have to greenwash

which is godawful tbc, I'm just baffled at why anyone inside or outside the company would think Good Idea (other than the aforementioned investors)

thebennatan.bsky.social•56 days ago

If I try thinking about this for longer than 30 seconds, my mind goes to a very bad place.

dirtbagqueer.rocks•56 days ago

we need to do fight club, ben

webeougher.bsky.social•56 days ago

What, and I can't stress this enough, the fuck!
