Alleged Facebook project to keep a person's likeness alive after death.




... “An entire island of people could go missing…the world wouldn’t have a clue that life wasn’t just continuing as usual.” Upon reading this, the mind naturally goes to how nefariously this tech could be used to cover up mass deaths from the ongoing democide caused by the Covid-19 injections, and whatever other democidal tools are coming down the pike. ...

I think you're missing an elephant in the room... 15 minute cities.

If you cannot travel and can only know your friends and family are still alive via whatsapp and facebook etc, then indeed an entire city could be wiped out and people outside that city, who could not travel there because it's more than 15 minutes from home, would not know.

Secondly, once a dead person is successfully impersonated, it would then be easy for that 'person' to gradually change their views and eventually adopt a 'masks work!' etcetera persona.

AI can already produce photorealistic images and basic video. Give it 4 or 5 years it will be able to be your best bud in the next town over, who is having 2nd thoughts about this whole 'freedom' thing... on a video chat. ...

I have a unique insight on this post. I spent several years (2003 through 2006) living and working near a primary originator of advanced AI. See my substack for details. I've seen this tech in action and can vouch 100% that it works. I first saw this AI tech in play in 2004. Here are two examples I've personally observed of this tech in action:

#1 In 2004 this tech was used in cooperation with Interpol to make mass arrests of several child exploitation criminal groups. The tech was used to emulate interesting online real time [simulated underage] 'targets' for many of these pedophile criminals all at once. This kept the pedos in question online and 'vulnerable' for near-simultaneous police raids on many locations on multiple continents. The original inventors and controllers of this tech intensely disliked pedos.

#2 In 2005 this tech was adapted to create 'superbots' in a certain 'invitation only' online game arena associated with an infamous hacker collective. I played in this 'invite only' arena, where I was often a team leader. An AI tech inventor, my housemate, was showing off to me and made a 'superbot' that emulated ME. Not only did it emulate all my in-game moves, it ALSO emulated my running text chat commentary, my strategic and tactical sense, and my SENSE OF HUMOR. This 'superbot' would crack jokes. This 'superbot' would even riff on jokes made by other people with a joke of its own, indicating an appreciation of HUMOR. Sometimes it would lead its team, issuing commands like a human leader and demonstrating an advanced strategic sense.

Note that this 'superbot' perfectly emulated my precise level of proficiency at strategy & tactics as well as my sense of humor. When I teamed up with this 'superbot' it was like having telepathy with my team member because we understood each other perfectly. I later interacted with this same 'superbot', my 'virtual clone' in a several other online environments. What I observed clearly qualified as full General Artificial Intelligence. Public roll out of features has been a gradual trickle for the past 20 years. Much is still withheld to the public.

Given that I observed this 19 years ago I know, for sure, that's it's definitely possible now. There's no doubt about that. Back then it was restricted to a small cadre of elite Darpa scientists who were also expert programmers & hackers. In 2006 it was also able to write computer software, at well above my expert skill level, in every programming language. It seems entirely plausible that this tech is now available to Meta. These 'shadow superbot virtual clones' already exist, one for each of us. This is the basis of e.g. personalized google search, among many other applications.

As to the rest of this article, the potential for using it to hide the death of humans, that's already been a thing for years. It's very creepy and a thing we should be wary of. Feel free to ask questions and I'll do my best to answer.
