Soon people discovered that Meta’s ghoulish posters had been among us for months, even years. There’s Liv, a “Proud black queer momma of 2 & truth-teller,” according to its Instagram profile. Add to that Brian, “everybody’s grandpa;” Jade, “your girl for all things hip-hop;” and Carter, a “relationship coach.” I’m sure there are more yet to be discovered.
All four of these posters have pages on both Facebook and Instagram with mirrored content and all four have post histories that go back to September 26, 2023. The accounts have the blue verified check marks and a label indicating that they’re an AI “managed by Meta.” Users can block them on Facebook, but not on Instagram. Users can also message them across all of Meta’s platforms, including WhatsApp.
That’s what the world was missing, NPCs.
I just wish they were interesting NPCs.
Hey, take what you can get.
I’ll take the guy that says “Welcome to Corneria”. He may not have much to say, but he sounds more sincere at least.
I like swords.
8-bit theater joke, sorry
I was, of course, refering to the actual Final Fantasy NPC.
not really, that was 100% 8-bit theater too
We’re only gonna get variations of the “Welcome to Revachol” guy, unfortunately
No kidding. What we get I’d Woman Laughing Alone With Word Salad
The only way to get everyone to get along is to create a new, even lower underclass of citizen for the humans to all feel smug about. This is that.
This started as a joke but the more I think about it the more afraid I am that I’m right.
Fucking toasters
Boomer Eight did nothing wrong! (Maybe I can’t remember)
