There’s also the fun part where all your chats gets released in a court case or the AI company gets bought out by facebook and they immediately sell all your personal chat logs to advertisers
“Male loneliness” aka “I’ve been raised to think that patriarchy works and that I deserve a bunch of shit without reason. Why is the world so mean to me?” Meanwhile, everyone is lonely because capitalists made it cost money to see people and no one’s got any of that.
i’ve been a feminist since i was 12. that didn’t stop other people from having prejudice about how i am “about to rape them” the moment i turn my face towards them
Now imagine how fucking lonely it is needing to devote mental effort to finding out which men aren’t rapists.
Dude, I’m 6’4", over weight, have AuDHD, and resting bitch face. Do you think I don’t have the same lived experience as you? I lived until I was in my mid 20s like the world perceived me as a monster. I’m telling you that it isn’t a male loneliness problem, it’s a loneliness problem and your ego can’t or won’t let you see past the parts of that that directly impact you.
Lonely man here. I’ve been raised to think that every man are pervert and women keep getting catcalled and harassed in the street. I’m so ashamed of myself that I just cannot approach a woman without thinking I will annoy her and will be rejected no matter what I try. So I just… don’t.
I understand people using LLM for romance. I don’t use it because of big corps. But If I had a fully local, fast, LLM, I think I would also use it.
That’s another example. People are just people. If you interact with them, you’ll be shocked to find that most of them have just as complicated relationship with the world as you do. You don’t need to be afraid that everyone views you as a monster because of your gender. They don’t. They won’t trust you initially cause we live in a time of low trust (most interactions you have are people trying to get one over on you, because of the anonymity of the interaction). All that it takes to get over that is more interactions with the same people. Then you’ll be more confident in other interactions with strangers going forward.
I hate to be the one to inform you but… legit hundreds of millions of people 😔
Lonely man here, I’d rather stay lonely my entire life than have my emotions held hostage simping for an LLM.
Held hostage? I don’t get how anyone can suspend their disbelief enough to not feel like a tool “romancing” a sophisticated text predictor.
It’s easier if you assume that these are people who have never received any kind of positive reinforcement ever in their lives.
Yeah, Same here honestly
You’re not their target audience
Correct, I have some self respect
Thank fuck I am not

Sigh… I guess male loneliness is real things now, the end of era happening so fast that i can imagine

To give a specific actionable practice, find a local public hobby meetup and go to it.
Joining a sea shanty sing-a-long at a local bar changed my life
