AI After Death? Meta’s Digital Ghost Patent
from The ProBoh Show · host Rob Grams
In the first part of today's show, we looked at a report from Dexerto about Meta patenting AI technology designed to take over a deceased person’s account — continuing to post and even chat as them after death. There was no second news story today — so we went deeper into the implications of digital afterlives, AI identity, and what this could mean for grief, memory, and online authenticity. Today's unpopular opinion was: Loyalty to companies is almost never rewarded. In the second half of the show, we asked 100 humans: Name something a company does to motivate their employees.
