[–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 15 points 3 months ago (4 children) Bots don't generate money you dough brains. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tengkuizdihar@programming.dev 2 points 3 months ago (3 children) why focus on money? what about culture, humanity, and actual interesting interaction between humans? ah, I forgot humanity have devolved into beings of statistics. Leaving feelings, positive long term planning, and religion behind. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 3 child comments replies: [–] Smaile@lemmy.ca 5 points 3 months ago Bots don't do that either. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago I believe it is an attempt to use an argument that they will care about. You could write a brilliant piece about how that many bots hurt culture and society but if the ones you want to convince don't gaf about either of those, they probably won't even read what you have to say, let alone change anything because of it. Or, more likely, they won't even see anything here, at which point that comment becomes more of a "they aren't even very good at what they want to be good at". Like from my pov, the top of the corporate world doesn't just not care about those things but is actively trying to destroy them because they think they'll do better in a world where none of those things are as they currently are. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Obi@sopuli.xyz 7 points 3 months ago If only that last one was true. permalink fedilink source parent
