Oh, you thought being dead would finally free you from Meta's monetization machine?

Oh, you thought being dead would finally free you from Meta's monetization machine? Think again!
Meta got a patent for an AI that trains on your entire social media history (your likes, comments, posts, everything) and then keeps your account humming along after you've shuffled off this mortal coil.
Your digital ghost will dutifully like posts, drop comments and reply to DMs. Because apparently, death is no excuse for low engagement metrics.
Meta's CTO Andrew Bosworth is listed as the primary author, and the patent was originally filed back in 2023. A Meta spokesperson assured everyone they have "no plans to move forward" with this.
Which, as we all know, is corporate speak for "not until the quarterly numbers dip."

@GroupNebula563@mastodon.social @tomscott@mastodon.social @masek@infosec.exchange Oh hey I could've sworn just the other day that Facebook did. I couldn't find a source for it though; didn't realize I misremembered a video. However, in a sick twist of fate, you're telling me that the universe is bending over backwards to make the fabrication I wrongly believed into a reality? Tom Scott is a prophet?

@masek Meta planning documents on this identity theft "feature":
"Well, they can't opt out if they're dead!"

@masek Dead Internet Theory!
I think that this is what will be happening:
> "The language model may be used for simulating the user when the user is absent from the social networking system, for example, when the user takes a long break or if the user is deceased
So they will start automating your account when you stop posting.

@masek Looking forward to the future where AI-powered spambots are burning up our planet trying to sell cryptocurrency to AI-powered bots of long- deceased users.

Honestly: I find it impossible to imagine how any person could have a Meta account at this point.

@masek This is ghoulish. I mean one of the popular in memoriam Twitter accounts is Sir Terry Prachett's. Imagine if it all of a sudden started liking and retweeting; absolutely vile idea
