🤮 #Meta patented an #AI that lets you keep posting from beyond the grave

@stux gives 'a dead account' a totally different meaning though.

[wheresmywater@mastodon.world]

@stux that includes Instagram and WhatsApp too

[abramkedge@beige.party]

@stux I don't think deleting the accounts does anything except set "deleted" to "true".

I had a Facebook account in 2005 - for a week. I deleted it.

Ten years later I had to create another to test a Facebook extension. FB resurrected my original account. All my posts were still there.

@stux how could anyone have predicted this?
And I thought twitter would do it first...

@AbramKedge @stux

Yeah, that's pretty typical. We usually call it a soft-delete. We don't always reveal to the user it's just a flag on an account.

It's pretty lousy.

My elderly mother (89) was not happy i deleted WA, as i am the only one in the family to do so. She has to use Signal just for me. At least she does.

[codemaclife@mas.to]

@stux I deleted mine a few months ago. Unfortunately, I am stuck with WhatsApp for another year while my son is at school+clubs. After that, WhatsApp will be gone.

This was in an episode of "broken mirror" years ago.
An excellent dystopic series, recommended

@stux AI stealing jobs from good old spirit mediums now

@stux It’s a very weird bubble these people live in, making them so out of touch with what’s going on anywhere that it takes probably multiple teams dozens of meetings to present THIS to the world.

@stux meta going beyond dead internet theory & giving us the undead internet, a Necrocomnicon

[thedutchchief@mstdn.social]

@stux So other dead people can read it?

[arnojanboere@waag.social]

@TheDutchChief @stux

'I read dead people'

[ragnaja@mstdn.social]

@ArnoJanBoere @TheDutchChief @stux is daar niet een black mirror aflevering over?

[h4heights@mstdn.social]

@AbramKedge @stux
Once upon a happier time it was (theoretically) possible to delete tweets off Twatter. Odd (not) how this is nigh on impossible now.

[maart@mastodon.social]

@stux I did a few days ago, it’s been freeing.

[simagick@freeradical.zone]

@stux I just imagine my long-terminated account being resurrected by a bot that is objectively more attractive and cooler than I was.

I bet they are living their best simulated life commenting unbalanced parentheses on the posts of bots pretending to be emacs users.

[mayhammonday@mstdn.ca]

@stux did that back in 2019!
