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.
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.
They’d probably opt you into it by default without telling anyone…
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.
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
Can’t wait for Zuckerberg to start using it.
Black mirror had a episode about this years ago. It’s crazy no one patented this before.
Literally a black mirror episode.
I do not want to see Weekend at BernAI’s.
*.avif is definitely a man made horror beyond my comprehension.
What the fuck
Prime time to remind that Meta probably cranks out five hundred patents every day in case they ever have to engage in patent warfare against competitors. For the simple reason that the competitors are doing the same thing.
The patents cover every little thing under the sun that they can think of, but oddly I don’t see each of those patents discussed online.
Found the appropriate response.
Weekend at Zuckies
That’s fucking… why would a patent office let that be a thing? FUCK
This reminds me of that one judge that let prosecution use an AI approximation of a dead man against someone that killed the dead man to speak in the dead man’s voice and I just wanted to throw the justice system INTO THE OCEAN cause wtf. https://www.cnn.com/2025/05/09/tech/ai-courtroom-victim-impact-statement-arizona/
Judge Todd Lang of Maricopa County Superior Court ultimately sentenced Pelkey’s killer Gabriel Paul Horcasitas to 10.5 years for manslaughter — although the state had asked for only 9.5 years — and 12.5 years in total, including an endangerment charge.
“I love that AI. Thank you for that,” Lang said, a recording of the hearing shows.
WTF.
Yeah, ain’t it great that judges can be easily swayed by some bullshit? Good country, ethics really well here.
That is so horribly unethical. Wtf is wrong with people.
What? Come on! It made the judge “feel” something! Not like someone’s died or something! /s

The job of the patent office is to determine whether that’s a valid patent application or not. As in, can you actually patent that thing, has someone else already patented it etc. As long as it’s technically valid, it gets approved. It’s up to the patent holder to test if its actually useful or not. If they choose to build the thing IRL, it’s up to the courts to determine if that breaks any laws. Every step along the way, the general public is there to judge the moral integrity of said invention, but usually that has no impact on the validity of the patent. Depending on jurisdiction, the patent office may need to follow some moral guielines, but the threshold of rejection is very high. My guess is, you won’t be able to patent a gas chamber for exterminating “illegal immigrants”, but patenting wild Meta BS is technically fine.

Here comes black mirror
Who’d’a thought that series would not only be a scathing critique of at that time existing technology, but also a precise depiction of what’s going to happen a decade later.
Hey guys! We’ve invented the Dead Person Simulator from that Black Mirror episode “Don’t Invent Dead Person Simulators!”
Gotta keep those engagement numbers up.
Literally dead Internet theory
Thought experiment: near 100% of facebook users are such bots. Watch them interact with each other unfettered and see where it mutates.
Bonus interview with the one real facebook user left.
