Microsoft has been granted a patent for technology that would “reanimate” the dead by re-creating them via social media posts, videos and private messages that could even be downloaded into a 3D lifelike model of the deceased.
Not creepy at all.
“The tech giant has raised the possibility of creating an AI-based chatbot that would be built upon the profile of a person, which includes their “images, voice data, social media posts, electronic messages,” among other types of personal information,” reports IGN. “It’s understood that the chatbot would then be able to simulate human conversation through voice commands and/or text chats.”
The patent explains that the chatbot could be a historical figure, a celebrity, a friend or relative or even a copy of “the user creating/training the chat bot.”
The patent is literally straight out of a Black Mirror episode, the dystopian series created by Charlie Brooker.
In an episode called Be Right Back, a young woman’s boyfriend called Ash is killed in a car accident but she decides to bring him back in the form of a technology which uses artificial intelligence to mimic her lover’s speech patterns, mannerisms and knowledge.
This virtual Ash is then downloaded into a synthetic body, but the woman struggles to accept it as a replacement for her actual boyfriend and ends up locking the android in an attic.
Transhumanist elitists have long dreamed of being able to achieve immortality by preserving their consciousness after death and uploading it to a computer.
In his book The Age of Spiritual Machines, futurist Ray Kurzweil predicted that humans will be uploading their minds to computers by 2045 and that bodies will be replaced by machines before the end of the century.
“We’re going to become increasingly non-biological to the point where the non-biological part dominates and the biological part is not important any more,” said Kurzweil. “In fact the non-biological part – the machine part – will be so powerful it can completely model and understand the biological part. So even if that biological part went away it wouldn’t make any difference.”
“We’ll also have non-biological bodies – we can create bodies with nano technology, we can create virtual bodies and virtual reality in which the virtual reality will be as realistic as the actual reality. The virtual bodies will be as detailed and convincing as real bodies,” he added.
Elsewhere in the book, Kurzweil made it clear that such technology would only be available to wealthy elites and that the rest of humanity would likely become a slave class or be wiped out altogether.

Kamala Harris, who is one health indicent away from being the President, put on a weird and disturbingly childish display Tuesday as she awarded the Congressional Space Medal of Honor to two former astronauts.
Harris described the NASA SpaceX Demonstration Demo-2 mission of Robert Behnken and Douglas Hurley from 2020 using extremely literal language that prompted some to wonder whether she is employing children to write her speeches.
Using a weird tone as if speaking to a room full of toddlers, Harris noted that the astronauts “suited up, waved to their families, rode an elevator… strapped into their seats… and then they launched.”
“Yeah they did,” she added before bursting into fits of giggles.
Watch:
Only Kamala Harris can make a description of an astronaut's launch seem patronizing. pic.twitter.com/zXYL4mfdq9
Well it's not her fault, blame it on her speechwriter. The Babylon Bee did a full interview with him, and honestly I think there is room for improvement. https://t.co/fbpiAnn8eq
