What the fuck

That's fucking...... why would a patent office let that be a thing? FUCK

Here comes black mirror

Literally dead Internet theory

the future is when you can't buy RAM because your dead cousin is using it to spam your feed with their antivaxx ideas.

That... Is some fucked up shit.

Literally a black mirror episode.

Black mirror had a episode about this years ago. It's crazy no one patented this before.

Didn’t think I’d cross digital necromancy off my bingo card!

They'd probably opt you into it by default without telling anyone...

Great. So now Facebook can become a literal ghost town.

I wonder how advertisers paying for ads on Facebook feel about paying to advertise to dead people?

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.

Gotta keep those engagement numbers up.

There are like three episodes of Black Mirror about this.

Sounds like I’ll need to include account deletion as a part of my will.

Oh no no no no no...
Please, God, Gods, or whoever, no...

I absolutely don't want my descendants to talk with some void-empty limited bloody-meatground utter nonsense... I don't want that freaking awful mess of terribly limited data to talk with my children or their children possibly framing and damaging their true memories and genuine confidence in me I had been developing the whole life... I don't want them to remember the algorithm or some imitation of me talking with a machine or some chat bot... no... never... please no... PLEASE NO...
No... No... Never...
No...

Some limited inhuman empty chat/voice/avatar/anything bot? No...
Some bot that may erroneously represent me behind my back?
Never...
Some nonsense that may reshape memories of my ancestors and my descendants?
No... Never... No...

If I am dead, I am dead. I want my descendants to just remember me, talk to me in their memories, real videos, audios, and photos, my effort, my ideas and love in artwork if ever they'll be interested... and once in a while visit the grave, at least 2-3 times per their life, if ever possible... and that's it...

If I am dead, I am dead as my ancestors are, who are not dead for me being alive but in my memories or something more magnificent/supernatural, and how I remember them, where they wanted to be the best they could, respected, glorified, and admired, without disturbing them in memories, soul, and the heart they gifted me, who I will always appreciate, respect, and love...

Let those bot accounts sign up for credit cards, see how fast they get shut down

Maybe they can get Epstein's account back in action

Can't wait for Zuckerberg to start using it.

Imagine how many AI-written patents are being submitted everyday.

And it seems like the patent office just approves whatever comes in these days without even looking at it, they just hope the courts will sort out any conflicts.

Bye bye patent system. Have a cool idea you want to patent? Too bad. It was already patented word for word by some company using AI to churn out patents made up of every conceivable word combination in the English language.

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.

I do not want to see Weekend at BernAI’s.

Fuck cuckerberg.

Why

That is messed up on an entirely different level.

What a great use of resources. Also, it seems like it borders on identity theft.

American lives matter: They maintain premium ad rate DAUs for Meta. Some anti-business commies will consider this in bad taste, but in addition to Meta DAUs, supporters of Zionist supremacist rule over the US, should also be able to keep voting. Pro business zionists need this technology to keep the right people immortal, or Iran wins.

Can people at Meta stop emulating Black Mirror. Please.

They're probably not going to use it...

... but if they do it's going to be a hell of a good starting point in motivating people to leave Facebook

Ancestral AI. The ancients will be angry to be left voiceless, only modern ancestors admitted.

Sorry guys, it's my fault for changing my name to Basilisk.

If you still have e a Facebook account, you fully support this.

that's some torment nexus shit

Weekend at Zuckies

Ah yes, my machine spirit will continue posting against the Trump Regime long after I died while fighting the kakistocracy.

What? That's against the TOS?!

Charlie Brooker warned us about this back when it was just fiction.

So they got a patent on a bot. Seems wide.

Just when you thought it couldn't get shittier. Meta will prove you wrong.

Literal ghouls the lot of them.

Don't they already do this with Brezhnev Trump? Prior art!

Does /dev/null qualify as prior art?

Maybe it can repost racist MAGA slop, creep on the granddaughters of ex-girlfriends, and put private messages into the public feed, just like your dad!

It might have some applications. Upon reflection, I just realized that deaths are public information. Many people use social media under a psudonym. If someone dies and stops using social media at the same time, that's a pretty potent piece of information to deanonymize them (though they also might not care all that much, being dead). If Meta has a patent, nobody else is allowed to do that. I suppose it could give them a certain edge.
