Pretty sad really, just like in general.

I remember before the plague it became fashionable to talk about "having your personal advisory board". It was just a friend group for socially stunted MBAs.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago

I see it as symptomatic of something worse: the tendency to monetize, advertise, and exploit everything that you are. For anyone willing to go hard enough on those ideals, it's (theoretically) possible to achieve more income. The thing that's keeping the rest of us from doing this are opposing ideals like privacy, quality of life, respecting boundaries, and healthy relationships.

Is this for his AA meetings? Because it sounds kinda fire for that.

Fellas, is it gay to have friends?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 month ago

Ngl I read this as a positive thing at first

Like friendships should be about creating a safe space where people can talk about sensitive subjects without being judged. A lot of toxic masculinity influencers keep saying that men shouldn't have feelings, men should just bottle it up, etc. and that's just not a good and healthy mindset.

Then I realized this was on linkedin lol

I don’t know how you all feel about ChatGPT but I was curious if the robots would understand how silly this post was. It delivered.

The fourth point "okay, first meeting. Let's talk about death, aliens and your ex" actually sounds like riveting conversation

I am unironically going to start using "fostering gratitude loops with dish-based reciprocity"

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I would be down as well except maybe discussing personal relationship issues with random stranger I just met.

Hey, I'm game. Sounds fun.

Also: should there be a "AI writing prompts" community?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

I think there should be. Gemini gave me a really good giggle when I asked it to write a short story about what would happen if cops and courts started interpreting the law the same way sovereign citizens do.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is really good. I'm impressed.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

I especially love the "cohort of 1 (yourself)" bit. Don't think I'd dare push the parody that far myself but it works.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 month ago (2 children)

When your post is so vapid that you get roasted by an LLM.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

OpenAI fed this thing a steady diet of internet forums as training data. You'd better believe that it knows how to verbally destroy anything and everything, at every conceivable level of sass and/or vitriol.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago

So there is a real world use case for chatgpt, roasting LinkedIn bros.

Men need to start forming cute groups of 4-5 where

  • no clothing is off limits
  • the goal is to give headpats
  • each person is accountable to their goals (:3)
  • the group helps strategize a roadmap for the person to live into their fursona
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 month ago

Do people really do headpats? Those are just uncomfortable. Petting is much preferred. Group massages were the best part about running cross country in high school.

They could make some shitty startup named BroBar that creates public places where the atmosphere is chill, beer is served, and where you could find people for your "core group". Maybe even play some pool.

I was so close to going on a rant

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

But first of all, you have to think about the monitarization and scalability! Make it a subscription service! And you need an app to track your ~~pay slaves~~ customers! And you need merch! This "friendship"-business model must be profitable!

Would be a nice place for 30-50 hogs to hang out.

The sink you're allowed to piss in.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Hey if this gets more men to make actual meaningful friendships instead of succumbing to the roganverse I'm all for it.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 month ago (2 children)

What if we just don't like any of you? Lol
