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.

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

    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.

    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.

      Would the black mirror episode not count as prior art and therefore invalidate the patent?

    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
