Mark Zuckerberg made us lonelier. Now he wants us to be friends with AI Social media leaving you feeling more isolated? The Facebook founder thinks chatbots can help

Happy to be interviewed by @matthfield.bsky.social: www.telegraph.co.uk/business/202... If loneliness is caused by a lack of genuine social connection, it seems unlikely use of AI chatbots could reduce loneliness. AI simulates social connection, but cannot replace it. @RCBB_LJMU @LJMUPsychology

Slide on a projector with Russell Hill speaking in front of it.

Great first plenary @ehbea2025.bsky.social by @prof-r-hill.bsky.social, who reflected on how the STRANGE framework, devised by @mikemwebster.bsky.social and Christian Rutz, relates to primate fieldwork (e.g. the impact of tolerance of human observers on social network datasets).

Hi Merideth, Sorry for the delay in replying, I am not especially active on here but am gradually making the switch over from X. Sure, I would be happy to chat. I am at a conference this week, but then back at work from 22nd April so free for a chat from then onwards.
