Meta was recently granted a patent for tech to keep your social media accounts running using AI if you take a break or die.

    Additionally, patentable materials must be novel, useful, and a non-obvious inventive step. - Wikipedia

    What does the patent contain? Where is the non-obvious inventive step? Using an AI to impersonate someone doesn’t strike me as novel, inventive, or surprising.

    I mean, who wouldn’t want a mega corp to take over the personality of a loved one after they die? What could be better to help grieving than seeing an upbeat post of a deceised friend or loved one about the latest insurance benefits in your feed. This is some vile, soulless shit even for meta

    Oh good. This will make it less accessible to others. Next step is a ban of the whole idea in the EU.

        At least we can hear their sobs when their sales slump, and their corporations nosedive.

        We’re using Black Mirror, Idiocracy, and Handmaids Tale as a blueprint at this point.

      That’s abuse and harassment.

      There’s no other way to look at it. It is not that relative, it’s fraud to claim it is, and it’s just disgusting to pull at the heart strings like this to make money.
