I find this bleak in ways it’s hard to even convey

Yeah I'm angry because I'd rather my loved ones at the very least talk to a chatbot that will argue with them that "they matter" and give them a hotline or a site if they're in some moment of despair and nobody is available or they don't want to talk to people instead of avoiding trying because of scripted incoherent criticism like stolen art slopslopslop Elon Musk techbro privacy blah blah and ending up doing it because nothing will delay them or contradict their suicidal intent.

It's not like you don't get this but following the social media norm and being monke hear monke say all the way to no empathy levels seems more important. That's way more dangerous but we don't talk about humans doing that or being vulnerable to that I guess.

So, you're still angry.

I can only repeat, I just can’t imagine myself giving in to this illusion esp. when I’m at my lowest.

I don't care what else you project into my stance. I'm out.
