But, fr fr, the posters here are of a certain demographic profile that is struggling in America right now and I suspect most of us know someone who has been effected by suicide. AI companions like the ones from that tweet will be a big thing in the next decade ("Her"), simulated worlds pitched a solution to loneliness and the absence of community, and the lines between what is the core human need for real love and acceptance and what is artificially created for profit will be gone.

There's been a call to remove "commit" when talking about suicide. It is said the connotations it can bring up are disrespectful and it's usage is dated and not relevant anymore.

Yeah, I think it's supposed to be "died by suicide" now.

Fun.

Facebook is already nothing but spambots and Instagram has turned into an OnlyFans marketing platform. Social media is trash but I'll never stop arguing with flat earthers and space deniers, AI or person.

Facebook dumping "content moderation" (censorship) in favor of community notes is a great move, even though zuck is a psychopath likely doing it for the worst reasons. The pro-censorship crowd can die mad about it.
