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

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

    What an intellectually dishonest title. You can’t keep posting after your death; your persona and all the relationships you spent a lifetime building become commodities for Meta to profit from

    Meta knows that you don’t have to be dead for this to work, now you can respond to your friends on Facebook in a manner that most optimizes engagement… whether you want to or not.

    They also won’t let a little thing like you being dead stand in the way of their monetizing your data, it isn’t like you can sue them for impersonation or anything.

      I quit Facebook over a decade ago, but any gen AI thingie impersonating me will have to get drunk and post unfortunate things at 2 am and then delete them next day. Good luck to the poor dumb bastard.

    Headline implies Meta is being dystopian. Text suggests they’re hoarding the patent so others can’t use. While sure, Facebook the company deserves all distrust in the world, that’s quite the disonance between the title and the rest of the article. Gotta love such manipulative news, specially as people usually read just the headline.
