The question of whether we’ll be uploading our consciousness to a computer is no longer if. It’s probably when. That’s because these digital consciousnesses – our essences – will likely be the product of an AI’s interpretation of ourselves. The breadcrumbs we’ll leave across digital files, images, videos, audio recordings, and, of course, all that social media will be an ample resource to reconstruct you.
My friends created a FB account a long time ago, and I did end up using it briefly. I haven’t logged into the account in probably 10 years and have no clue what my password is. Thoughts on whether I should bother giving Meta more personal information in order to try to log in & delete that account?
Don’t do it. I have an orphaned FB account too that I can’t log in to because they want video verification. So I just set the password to a keyboard smash and left it as is.
It’s kinda comforting to know that even if you had my email and pw you still couldn’t use my acc.
So it’s just stale data rotting on their servers that they can’t link to anything. And giving them more info just to delete my acc knowing they prolly aren’t gonna delete the verification data doesn’t make sense imo.
