>> Meta/Facebook has the patent, granted this past Dec 2025, to allow Facebook to continue posting on your page, as if it was you, not just text posts and comments, but audio and video, using your voice and image — AFTER YOU DIE.
So glad I never joined Facefook. This transhuman stuff is bizarre.
I joined back in the early days while it was much smaller, simpler, and saner. It was useful for a short time to connect with some folks I hadn't talked to in decades, and to plug my bands' upcoming gigs.
It rapidly exploded, got more complex, and increasingly insane. Around 12 years ago I stopped posting, and about 10 years ago I stopped logging in. I still have the account, because "ya never know" when it might come in handy now that I'm old. But so far it hasn't been handy enough to login.
I agree -- it's freakin' bizarre. It's very disturbing on many levels even without this godawful idea of internet immortality through AI. When I die, whatever awaits me is not going to be an AI-generated fake Facebook profile.
