gee, how difficult would it be to get the same AI to start creating posts that seem like us, but with slightly different political views?
How difficult would it be for FB to lock a bunch of loudmouths out of their accounts and generate posts on their behalf, steadily shifting to the right over time?
of course, "they would NEVER do that".
Right.
Because all of the things that people said they would never do, they already have done, and continue to do.
Me: I miss you grandpa.
Ghost corporate grandpa: Buy a new car this weekend!
In life, grandpa was a racist. In death, grandpa won't stop telling me about Volkswagen and Black Rifle Coffee.
"You have five new unread product recommendations from your favorite Meemaw. Enable push notifications now so you never miss an advertisement from a deceased loved one!"
Seems suitable for the annual Festivus airing of grievances.
Dump these tech bros and CEOs in the goddamn ocean. They are speed running the enshittification of all of human experience and reality
