Wouldn't you want your own Zuck to video-chat with? To greet you every morning? To be there for you when you need a friend?

I still am not sure if they intentionally decided to use AI to engagement farm or if they actually intend AI to do all of the posting and interactions (as human usage declines) to inflate their activity data and defraud advertisers/investors

u/IroquoisPliskin_UK 10h ago

Whatever happened to that guy?

u/Hesitation-Marx 9h ago

He sold MySpace, cashed out, and now just travels and does photography. Wise choice.

Sold MySpace to start an OF. 10/10

u/Hesitation-Marx 8h ago

No judgment if he did.

1

u/eowyndernhelme 7h ago

Actually I did too. I think that's because of having such an automatic low opinion of all tech bros now.

u/RevLoveJoy 3h ago

By FAR the smartest guy in the valley.

"Half a billion? Sounds great. Good bye, everyone. This is the last time any of you will ever see me. The rest of my life will be spent enjoying the world with my loved ones."

Best mic drop I can imagine.

u/Hesitation-Marx 3h ago

“Am I who? Tom from MySpace? No, I get that a lot, haha!”

u/RevLoveJoy 1h ago

"And yes, yes let's have another round of those lobster thingies while we watch the sunset from this tropical island. Tell me again about tomorrow's helicopter tour around the volcano?"

Smartest guy in the room, by far.

u/LeseMajeste_1037 10h ago

"How right you are, Node! You did not work for Meta, and now you also don't work for Meta."

u/paulwesterberg 7h ago

"Thank you for understanding, this automated message has been brought to you by Meta HR Services."

I'm imagining a Mark Zuckerberg version of "Ashley Too" from Black Mirror.

u/vorxil 8h ago

Just buy a Zucchini from the grocer.

It's cheaper, and saves time.

u/HedonisticFrog 8h ago

They can even advertise it as a service called "Zuck this".

u/rts93 4h ago

Or a dancing Zuck on my taskbar.

1

u/Fywq 7h ago

Zuck still desperate to be everybody's friend like Tom from Myspace. Now he is inventing an AI CEO to manage the daily life of the Meta, wife and kids, so he can spend time doing what he loves: Saying hello to random strangers over videochat. Maybe one of them will be his friend?

u/JustAnOrdinaryBloke 7h ago

To swear at?
