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.
Sorry guys, it's my fault for changing my name to Basilisk.
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
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?!
that's some torment nexus shit

Literal ghouls the lot of them.
Maybe it can repost racist MAGA slop, creep on the granddaughters of ex-girlfriends, and put private messages into the public feed, just like your dad!
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.
So they got a patent on a bot. Seems wide.
Just when you thought it couldn't get shittier. Meta will prove you wrong.
Does /dev/null qualify as prior art?
or /dev/urandom?
It might have some applications. Upon reflection, I just realized that deaths are public information. Many people use social media under a psudonym. If someone dies and stops using social media at the same time, that's a pretty potent piece of information to deanonymize them (though they also might not care all that much, being dead). If Meta has a patent, nobody else is allowed to do that. I suppose it could give them a certain edge.
Don't they already do this with ~~Brezhnev~~ Trump? Prior art!
Charlie Brooker warned us about this back when it was just fiction.
