Zuckerberg's OnlyFans for Friendship Future
I want live human friends thank you very much
This week Mark Zuckerberg opined on the loneliness epidemic:
“The average American has fewer than three friends,” he said. “The average person has demand for meaningfully more, I think it’s like 15 friends or something.”
His solution? AI friends! Fake friends!
The world will adjust to the demand for AI friends, he said, and we will “find the vocabulary as a society to be able to articulate why that is valuable and why the people who are doing these things, why they are rational for doing it and how it is adding value for their lives.”
I had to laugh.
It reminded me of some of the early pushback I got when we started working on Maxwell during the pandemic…
If you don’t want to live in a world where an AI friend is psychologically jacking you off feel free to apply for our Summer cohort!
