Even in death, you will continue to generate value for Mark Zuckerberg. In what sounds like something out of Black Mirror (probably because it literally is something out of Black Mirror) it’s confirmed that Facebook‘s parent company, Meta has been granted a patent for an AI that will “simulate” a person’s social media activity after their death.
Imagine, you and your partner have a baby and post an image of your new family to Facebook. Soon after you get a video call and answer, seeing Grandma beaming down the line as she tells you how proud she is of you and how your new daughter looks just like your mother. It’d be touching… if we hadn’t buried her six months ago…
