Video Description
Meta just patented a way to turn your dead loved ones into active bots. In 2026, 51% of the internet is already bots. Zuckerberg's newest patent makes sure that the other 49% doesn't have to be alive to stay active.
In this video I talk about Grief Tech and why I think your data is being drafted into a zombie workfoce and revoking your right to be forgotten.
