Meta patents AI that takes over a dead person’s account to keep posting and chatting
The filing, granted in late December and originally submitted in 2023, describes how a large language model could replicate a person’s online behavior using their past data.
As reported by Business Insider, this includes posts, comments, chats, voice messages, likes, and other interactions, allowing the system to respond to content, publish updates, or message other users in a way that mirrors the original account holder.
According to the patent, the model “may be used for simulating the user when the user is absent from the social networking system,” including cases where the person is on a long break or deceased. The filing notes that the impact is “much more severe and permanent” if the user has died and cannot return to the platform.
China’s water battery breakthrough can last 120,000+ cycles, outlast lithium-ion by decades
Chinese scientists unveil a non-toxic, water-based battery that delivers over 120,000 cycles without the fire risks of lithium-ion systems.“Compared with current aqueous battery systems … our system delivers exceptional long-term cycling stability and environmental friendliness under neutral conditions,” the team said in its paper.
The new battery uses what the team calls “organic” electrodes with neutral, non-toxic electrolytes. According to the team, the new tofu-brine-based battery is capable of 120,000+ charge cycles, and is basically saltwater-level safe.
“Such performance highlights the research potential of this work and underscores its promise for practical application,” the team added.
This means it is neither acidic nor flammable. If scalable, this could prove revolutionary, especially in terms of replacing other battery tech like lithium-ion.
