Countless voiceless people sit alone every day and have no one to talk to, people of all ages, who don't feel that they can join any local groups. So they sit on social media all day when they're not at work or school. How can we solve this?

go volunteer. they're needed everywhere. problem solved. most able-bodied lonely people are that way because they can't be arsed to get off the damn couch. they would just rather discuss loneliness on social media. I can't be arsed either, but I don't feel lonely when I'm alone, which is the majority of the time.

Its an issue that is caused by many factors which are mostly related to the way our large scale societies are structured and ran, but I believe it will be solved very soon... By AI. first disclaimer, I am not advocating one way or the other for this just spelling out what I see on the horizon. Very soon AI systems will become a lot more sophisticated then your average chat bot. We will interact with them naturally through voice and they will become more capable in expressing the various nuances of the human speech, conversation cadence, etc... This is where humans will find solace. In fact i believe AI will be a humans best friend, lover, parent, child, etc.... as technology progresses and these things get embodied and so on. This year alone I expect the start of mass adoption of voice agents. But yeah, that's the way i see things play out. If I am right and things go this way, and you are interacting with these things, the smart move is to make sure you own the full stack 100% and not use the api related nonsense that will eventually brainwash you for this or that reason. If you are gonna dig a hole at least dig one that doesn't have the obvious traps in it.
