Meanwhile Zuckerberg's vision for the future was that most of our friends will be AIs in the future...

  I think the new team he is trying to build for that is going to crash and burn.

  when exactly did he say this? Seems pretty out there, even for him.

To be fair, he was talking about "additional" friends. So something like 3 actual human friends + 15 "AI friends" to boost the numbers, or something.

  That's clearly sad in the widest sense, but in the narrow sense. I'm extremely optimistic for my own prospects. Why? It means I've been under-estimating the aggregate demand for friendship for years. Armed with that knowledge, I personally feel like it's easier than ever to make friends. It certainly makes approaching people a lot easier. Throw in a little authenticity, some active and reflective listening, and real vulnerability and I'm almost guaranteed success. That doesn't mean it doesn't take effort, but the opportunities are real and deep genuine, caring friendships are way more possible than I'd been led to believe. If given the choice between 10 AI friends and 1 human friend, which one would you choose?
