Black mirror type shit

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 4 points 3 hours ago

I see an upside, I'll be able to post "Fuck you Zuckerberg" for years after I'm gone.

[–] Quexotic@infosec.pub 4 points 4 hours ago

Even in death, we will not be free.

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 11 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

If you want to shitpost from beyond the grave do it yourself

Casper the Unfriendly Ghost

I'm actually gonna aim more for something out of The Shining.

How are these companies so Sociopathic that they don't immediately understand how awful an idea this is?

[–] mfed1122@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 3 hours ago (1 children)

Idk a lot of people are very attached to their AI boyfriends and girlfriends so I think there's definitely a large market for this

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 1 points 40 minutes ago

That's officially weird.

[–] SocialMediaRefugee@lemmy.world 1 points 3 hours ago

Because some soulless marketing drone will think it is a great idea.

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 16 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, the c-suites can’t hear you over the sound of their multimillion dollar annual bonus checks clearing

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 2 points 14 hours ago

At least we can hear their sobs when their sales slump, and their corporations nosedive.

I would fucking hate getting “i miss you son” messages from my dead parents

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 19 points 12 hours ago

"By the way, you would look great in these raybans™"

[–] errer@lemmy.world 30 points 13 hours ago

“I miss you son…almost as much as I miss the energy of Five Hour Energy Dubai Chocolate Crunch!”

[–] panda_abyss@lemmy.ca 45 points 18 hours ago

That’s abuse and harassment. 

There’s no other way to look at it. It is not that relative, it’s fraud to claim it is, and it’s just disgusting to pull at the heart strings like this to make money. 

[–] Epzillon@lemmy.world 80 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Holy shit, dystopia is real

[–] Cyclist@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)
[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 10 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

We're using Black Mirror, Idiocracy, and Handmaids Tale as a blueprint at this point.

[–] Xaphanos@lemmy.world 2 points 5 hours ago (1 children)
[–] village604@adultswim.fan 2 points 3 hours ago

And 1984, although people are willingly paying money to install telescreens.

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Meta knows that you don't have to be dead for this to work, now you can respond to your friends on Facebook in a manner that most optimizes engagement... whether you want to or not.

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I quit Facebook over a decade ago, but any gen AI thingie impersonating me will have to get drunk and post unfortunate things at 2 am and then delete them next day. Good luck to the poor dumb bastard.

[–] roofuskit@lemmy.world 44 points 18 hours ago

Lol, this is because most of their Facebook users will be dead in the next 5 years.

[–] Golden@lemmy.blahaj.zone 30 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

What an intellectually dishonest title. You can't keep posting after your death; your persona and all the relationships you spent a lifetime building become commodities for Meta to profit from

Ultimate vendor lock-in

Edit: Comment deleted because it belong to different post

[–] abcdqfr@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago (2 children)
[–] sun_is_ra@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 hour ago

yes, commenting on the wrong post.

Thanks for pointing that out

Good points tho.

[–] karashta@piefed.social 21 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

No one gave a shit about my shitty low effort shit while alive. Who the fuck wants a slop version of me to be disappointed in as well?

[–] KoboldCoterie@pawb.social 28 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Hey, none of that. Around here, all content is valuable, low-effort and shitty or not. As long as it was posted by a human; fuck AI.

[–] poleslav@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago

This is the kinda positivity that I needed to start my day, thanks stranger lol

[–] karashta@piefed.social 7 points 18 hours ago

It's alright. I don't believe it was all that bad. But I never really tried or cared, so it was 100% low effort haha

[–] 321hendrik@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)
[–] Murdoc@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 hours ago

And Caprica, and Limitless (the tv show, not the movie). Probably others. (Even a Babylon 5 episode was related, but more fantasy than sci-fi.)

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 9 points 15 hours ago

Finally, so I can keep being banned forever.

[–] thoughtfuldragon@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

So that meta can speak through your corpse after you die.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

At least someone wants my body, I can't give it away.

[–] astraeus@lemmy.ml 9 points 17 hours ago

90% of their social media is already bots anyway would it really change much

[–] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 5 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Meta announcement soon: "We made an update to our privacy statement. The most significant change is that we have now explicitly stated that you, the user, are in full control of your account and your data and you will have a lifelong, exlusive right to that data. We are doing this in the users best interest and comply with privacy regulations."

Conveniantly leaving out that they're effectively changing nothing except that you now loose all rights to your data and your account after you die.

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 4 points 18 hours ago

Headline implies Meta is being dystopian. Text suggests they're hoarding the patent so others can't use. While sure, Facebook the company deserves all distrust in the world, that's quite the disonance between the title and the rest of the article. Gotta love such manipulative news, specially as people usually read just the headline.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago

I kind of want to get this for my family. Control the heating and stuff, idk

[–] pinball_wizard@lemmy.zip 3 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

That's a no from me, dawg.

My post-life AI clone will have a single purpose: shitposting to Meta services about how shitty those same Meta services are.

I think our planned architectures may contain incompatibilities.
