Meta has been granted a patent outlining an AI system capable of simulating a user’s activity on social media to post after their death.
Some fucked up shit.
What the fuck
Found the appropriate response.
Prime time to remind that Meta probably cranks out five hundred patents every day in case they ever have to engage in patent warfare against competitors. For the simple reason that the competitors are doing the same thing.
The patents cover every little thing under the sun that they can think of, but oddly I don’t see each of those patents discussed online.
Can people at Meta stop emulating Black Mirror. Please.
That is messed up on an entirely different level.
the future is when you can’t buy RAM because your dead cousin is using it to spam your feed with their antivaxx ideas.
There are like three episodes of Black Mirror about this.
Here comes black mirror
Hey guys! We’ve invented the Dead Person Simulator from that Black Mirror episode “Don’t Invent Dead Person Simulators!”
We are going to need a lot of new laws to stop nonsense like this. There is nothing positive to come from faking humans that are dead.
Didn’t think I’d cross digital necromancy off my bingo card!
Literally dead Internet theory
Just when you thought it couldn’t get shittier. Meta will prove you wrong.
not even death will stop your family members from sending you fake news articles
Black mirror had a episode about this years ago. It’s crazy no one patented this before.
Would the black mirror episode not count as prior art and therefore invalidate the patent?
This is dumb and fucked up, but I also look forward to the AI analog for @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world constantly following up its own posts with apologies and banning itself.
If you ban yourself too often you’ll go blind which is why I never have.
“Dad, I’m over here”
Let those bot accounts sign up for credit cards, see how fast they get shut down
