"The part about the humanization of robots is that it's also making it personalized to your individual human needs. Humans are not just social animals, they are social approval-seeking humans. And so that desire for social validation is what drives a lot of us into social media, Reddit, to our various tribes, which is normal. And now, we are starting to get that hole filled by robots." - Jeremy Au
"Who's behind the roboganda right now? Anybody could make roboganda. I could go into generative AI or ChatGPT to make my own propaganda that's supported by robots, but what are the structural economic incentives behind this? It's for people of two categories. One is people who are capital holders. And two, it's about people who are disruptors rather than incumbents. There's a lot of intersectionality and this doesn't apply to everybody. It's just that if you have capital, you want to maximize the returns of capital and you want to minimize the impact of labor. And robots are a fantastic way to scale up your productivity without scaling up labor." - Jeremy Au
"The hole for social approval is infinite. There is no upper limit. There's no stomach capacity limit that you can face. Social approval will come for you in the form of robots. The algorithm provides you with a consensus point by somebody who acknowledges and approves of your point of view by serving you an algorithm version of another human saying something that sounds like you. It will generate content. It gives news feeds and articles that provide information that selectively affirms and agrees with you. And now, artificial intelligence is showing up in different roles." - Jeremy Au
