Poor Zuck. As a robot, he doesn’t understand why his workers are so upset. They still have a job. He cut the inefficiency, placed more work on the remaining employees, and probably tells them to pick up the slack by using AI or something like that…

He also probably saved billions.

In his robot brain: “Why aren’t they happy for me to succeed?”

Fake, cheap, and plastic with a huge price tag. What a perfect representation of the United States.

Would he have said anything at all or apologized if he wasn’t called out? I doubt it.

We need an Internet 2.0 invite only. no bots, governments, or companies allowed.

Oh yeah I totally get it! The only reason I’m in the “know” is because I work in IT. I used to love computers growing up but uh… Now that I do it for a career, I don’t have much interest in computers as a hobby. I used to lie at work in entry level positions saying stupid shit like “computers are my life!” Because I thought that’s what I needed to do to “fit in”. But, these days I’m just honest. When I get off work I don’t fire up my gaming pc (don’t even have one), I fire up my grill!

Glad you like it here! I’m pretty new myself. My only issue is there’s not much traffic sometimes but what makes it so “real” is how empty it feels sometimes. You know people read your comments instead of getting buried in thousands of bot comments.

Yeah agreed. But if you’re in a 3rd world country or some broke teenager that money goes farther. Bot farms buy “legit” accounts then influencers pay them for likes and interactions on social media platforms fooling The algorithm into thinking the content is popular then putting the bought content into real human’s social media feeds. I have watched YT videos on how the stuff operates in the past. It just goes to prove that the internet is fake af. Going viral can be bought. Algorithms can be manipulated. It’s all bullshit.

Lemmy seems pretty legit so far though! I’m pretty new here but it seems like a small corner of the internet that’s not yet taken over by 90% bots!

…yet…

I checked my first one (that was banned later) once out of curiosity. 8ish years over 100k karma and it was like $20? You’d have to really grind to make any money like having a bot farm or something. Granted I never actually checked my account specifically, just similar accounts with similar age and karma.

This was years ago that I looked. I wouldn’t be surprised if the number has gone down since then.

That’s cool and all but if true, why use an animated photo instead of a real life example?

That sucks, sorry to hear. Hopefully you’ll be able to create what you want someday.

Alright, setting you up for a shameless plug! What game did you make?

Shouldn’t Valve be scanning for these types of things!? The alarming part is that players had to find it

That’s just gonna drive lazy people to learn how to use something open source like Jellyfin.
