If people stop using your platform, then unleash millions of bots that impersonate dead people to make 'engagement' seem high for the advertisers and shareholders.
These fucking ghouls will never stop.

Post modern necromancy is weird

That’s super fucked up can you imagine losing a loved one and then getting a message or video call from ‘them’ days months or even years later? That’d be enough to make anybody need therapy for life.

I knew there was a reason I don't use Meta nor X. This could be related to it.
tinyfootprints
My online behavior is primarily to be offline as far as those platforms are concerned. It's pretty easy for a bot to replicate that.

Does the AI also go to where I used to work, deal with that shit and pay tax and everything?
algoritham
Sure, the same way that once they replace everyone's jobs with AI we'll still all keep spending money at their businesses. What could go wrong?

And I bet all those accounts would push conservative viewpoints now...

For Canadians out there. There's a start up social media called North Socail. Check it out. https://northsocial.ca/

Meta/FB is a scummy company, but it's also pretty common for large corps to patent non-practical ideas in case they can ever make money off them.

Suddenly, the anime 'Dead Account' feels a bit more real...

Fer real.

Social media has been reminding me all about the dead people in my life and its not enough to hurt me on holidays. They want to hurt people ALL the time now with this...necromancy
TunnelRat13
Not only that, welcome to the newest way to spread malware and commit scams! Congratulations Meta/Shitbook for making the world a less secure and shittier place online!

people should note that this says "patented," not "implemented." while it may be used later, it's not necessarily being used NOW
Hippopotamuswhale
why do you even use facebook anymore? its been cancer from start and fuckenberg is psychotic little bitch with no friends. he is another I wait to die so much. my "die fast" list is long
CallMeMcGyver
Not impressed... I've been dead since 1887 and I'm still posting nonsense...
abeansits
Well you can fix a nuclear reactor with chewing gum and a paperclip, so dead posting isn't surprising.

Oh cool, so right wingers can go on even after they die.

My only hope is that after i die, whatever digital ghoul the technocracy of elite billionaires resurrect brings harm to them, and their children, and their children's children for all time

We had a black mirror episode about this.

Yep. Was looking to see the same thing.

How are advertisers making money if people with real money aren't watching their ads?
InfocalypseRising
They aren't, the point is that meta will use this to pump up their engagement numbers to make it LOOK like they're getting tons of views. You know, like when they said Facebook Video was getting more views than youtube, tons of people bought into it, and it turned out they were completely making shit up.
CallMeMcGyver
It doesn't matter because "AI"... you know... like "Dot com" or ..."Tulip bulbs"...

algoritham
They won't be, and when they realise it thats when they'll start pulling their ads. This is just to keep facebook tottering along on crutches and covered with bandaids for as long as possible to milk as much money as possible.

Happened already, just scroll through George Takei's fb posts.

I'm so fucking blind, that one thing i've dreamed of would be cybernetic eyes. I'd be willing to deal with a bit of dystopia for cybernetic eyes. Instead i get social media that'll pretend to be me when i stop using it, so nobody notices I stopped using it.

Oh, I never said it was a bad thing. I just feel compelled to point it out for the people who haven't noticed it.
straha242
Hah, I sure didn't notice when I blatantly reposted it, cheers! :)
gulyman
How is that even patentable?
theThousandHells
Probably because by using their social media site, you agree to their terms of service which state that they can virtually reanimate your digital corpse and make it spew what they want in perpetuity
manystripes
A great question that applies to pretty much all software patents really. The iconic example being Amazon fiercely defending their patent on clicking on a button to buy something.

So no one else can patent it.

Yes my fellow teen! Account created in 2014, same as me, who is also obviously a teenager who created their imgur account when I was 2.

I saw an interview where somebody asked him about people recognizing him from this meme more than for his long and impressive career in film and TV.
Mr. Steve Buscemi took the opportunity to point out that he’s actually holding not one, but two skateboards. I have never noticed that before, but I looked at the full clip and yup, two skateboards.
genericanamoly
Sadly it is getting harder to tell as some accounts have been here awhile but are clearly hacked or being used some other way that doesnt seem like the actual original account creator.
SocoFox
I'm fairly certain there are backdated bot and/or AI accounts created by the current owners. They're always 8-12 years old, have an unreal amount of awards, millions of points, and yet for all the years I've been on here I've never seen them before.
Their comment history is also a bunch of three word or single sentence comments that have little value or substance.
Most of the ones I've seen always post AI generated cute animal videos.
Antininny
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Fuck this ninny.

He should be guillotined. Seriously that fucker should be dead. He has to know we want him dead, that's why he's building bomb shelters.

Problem is, he has people in his security apparatus that have poor families. Won't take too long before his guards starve, but Zucky won't.
