They'd probably opt you into it by default without telling anyone...

Only way to delete your account properly is to never have made one or let ignorant people post YOUR image to FB

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.

Speaking solely for myself, I have accepted that I am as susceptible to marketing and propaganda as any other human, in an age where we are surrounded by it, none of it honest, none of it in my own best interest.

My response to this has been to cut off all possible routes of advertising: I literally do not watch or read anything that has ads, except possibly passing billboards and in-store ads. I don't play games that have ads. I don't listen to radio. I have adblocker on everything, or I simply leave. I can't stand ads, and I have cut them out of everything I can. I'd genuinely rather quit a service than submit to ads. (And yes, I do love just plain silence, whenever I can get it.)

So yeah, I'm immune: they can't influence me if they can't get access. That's the best kind of immunity there is.

Didn’t think I’d cross digital necromancy off my bingo card!

The reason i adblock the shit out of everything is not because i think i'm smarter than everyone, it's because i KNOW i'm susceptible to these things.

What you're describing is not immunity, but an avoidance strategy. Almost nobody is truly immune to ads, thats why we avoid exposure

Nobody is immune to HIV, so we avoid exposure

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

Why

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

Does /dev/null qualify as prior art?

This is dumb and fucked up, but I also look forward to the AI analog for @SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world constantly following up its own posts with apologies and banning itself.

or /dev/urandom?

or let ignorant people post YOUR image to FB

Yeah ... good luck with that.

ikr, luckily every time I check I still have no ghost FB account nor can I find myself on google.

Took a course at college in '12 and one of the classes the assignment was to search for ourselves online, the prof clearly stated that "I couldn't find myself" was not an acceptable outcome. So when I went to deliver the news that I was going to get a zero because in 30+ pages of google I could not find any mentions of myself, I was the first and prolly only person to get full marks on that assignment

Let those bot accounts sign up for credit cards, see how fast they get shut down

Nah the horrific part will it at first doing erratic but vaguely in character posts of people you actually liked which will then slowly mutate into shilling for whichever political party or company paid facebook the most.

If you ban yourself too often you’ll go blind which is why I never have.

I suspect that the professor was trying to make it so that people would put some effort in instead of just giving up and lying.

"Dad, I'm over here"

You could be totally screwed in that assignment just by having a very common name.

Oh I did find many many with similar names, but nothing that indicated me. It was fun and I did expect him to give me zero on it, but when one does not have social media one has difficulty finding oneself online hehe

Probably, he was one of the better profs there

Truth.

How is that even admissible in court? It's worse than hearsay, it's madeupsay.

If your honour pleases, we have used AI to turn this child's crayon drawing into the defendant pleading guilty! I'll allow it.

For fucks sake.

Get grieving relatives hooked on talking to bots, then sell them subscriptions to keep the bots running

What a great use of resources. Also, it seems like it borders on identity theft.

There are phone calls and texting. There is zero excuse to remain in support of platforms that do this.

And if your friends remain on Facebook, they’re part of the problem too because apparently, any victims of the actions made by Zuckerberg can suck it so long as they can share and look at super cool memes.

that's some torment nexus shit

There are like three episodes of Black Mirror about this.

Ah yes, my machine spirit will continue posting against the Trump Regime long after I died while fighting the kakistocracy.

What? That's against the TOS?!

We are going to need a lot of new laws to stop nonsense like this. There is nothing positive to come from faking humans that are dead.

Charlie Brooker warned us about this back when it was just fiction.

That is messed up on an entirely different level.

It is exactly that, identity theft.

Or fraud

Can people at Meta stop emulating Black Mirror. Please.

Just when you thought it couldn't get shittier. Meta will prove you wrong.
