If you still have e a Facebook account, you fully support this.
I fucking wish. If I delete insta, facebook and whatsapp, I cut 99% of friends, my family and my wife. I can probably delete FB and insta, but whatsapp is like impossible to get rid of. Everyone is on it.
Maybe in future EU moves to something else, then deleting would be possible. But as of now, it is not.
I got my husband to migrate to Signal with me, but the only alternative to talking to my parents on Whatsapp is using some russian government-owned chat platform that they recently installed to talk to my grandparents (apparently Whatsapp no longer works in Russia). With those two options, I'm sticking to Whatsapp for now (on GrapheneOS, in a separate isolated profile that is completely off while I'm not using it and has no permission to do anything on my phone)
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.
Maybe they can get Epstein's account back in action
He's already playing games from Israel, apparently.
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'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
Fuck cuckerberg.
Sorry guys, it's my fault for changing my name to Basilisk.
Charlie Brooker warned us about this back when it was just fiction.
Ancestral AI. The ancients will be angry to be left voiceless, only modern ancestors admitted.
Weekend at Zuckies
Does /dev/null qualify as prior art?
or /dev/urandom?
Don't they already do this with ~~Brezhnev~~ Trump? Prior art!
So they got a patent on a bot. Seems wide.
Literal ghouls the lot of them.
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.
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.
