the way to get people to have more friends is to get them to move away from the computer Mark Zuckerberg!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they need to leave the computer and go talk to people! you've got it the wrong way round Mark Zuckerberg!
Mark Zuckerberg says Meta's chatbots will supplement your real friends: "The average American has fewer than 3 friends ... but has demand for ... 15 friends" (h/t x.com/romanhelmetg...)
