Bro WTAF. “Demand for friends.” He is incapable of talking about anything except in market terms.

Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)

At least he's rounding and not spitting the raw marketing "metric" which I'm sure is like "the average person to friend demand ratio is 1:14.945873" or something.

He got rich monetizing every bit and byte of data from every human interaction he possibly could, that well has run dry, but profits need to grow - throw AI at it!

So sick of this.

Sorry, but I could not handle having to entertain fifteen people with stupid memes. I'm fine with my current number of two.

The only solution is tariffs on friends

“How are we progressing on the project?”

“We believe we have reached MVF. Our minimum viable friend is performing well.”

I use weird examples like "the goal of friendship maximization" to show how some values are lost when we attempt to quantify them, but I never expected to encounter it in the wild.

He’s lying. It’s a form of propaganda , like it’s bad but the idea that he’s sincere is starting to ick me

hypervisible.bsky.social•1 day ago

I don’t take anything he says as sincere, but also he’s kinda bad at it—unless being bad at it is part of the shtick.

LIVESHOT: Zuck hangin’ at the playground with his “friends.”

I think so at this point,

It’s always a PR war to rally his supporters and distract

It allows them to be both aggressor and victim.

We’re calling him weird and dissecting him and not discussing Careless People’s targets or Meta failure or his subtle admission AI doesn’t work

Literally how can you manage 15 friends and actually be friends? Humans require time and care - and I already have a cat. Do people not work or are they counting shallow and extended parts of their social circle?

Help, I was in a friend trade deficit with society at large but now my AI friend keeps inviting me to their open mic improv night and they live in my phone so they know I don't actually have conflicting plans as an excuse

Less friends, less peer pressure. Less peer pressure, the greater the chance you may not buy a ton of shit you do not need (i.e. whatever Meta is selling).
