наши двойники множатся на глазах:
Writer Jon Ronson is at war with himself on Twitter. In February, an organisation called Philter Phactory created a Twitter account called @jon_ronson. The Twitter account was populated by a “Weavr” — a piece of AI software, created using information from Ronson’s Wikipedia page.
словно охотник в посиках дичи. или генерал, наблюдающий окрестности. или — просто отпущенный воздушный змей:
For [Philter Phactory] Weavrs represent many different things: a storytelling platform, a discoverability engine, a market research tool and an exploration of artificial intelligence.
<...>
Once you publish your Weavr, it starts a life of its own, trawling social media sites and posting onto a central blog.
вот, например:
If you’re planning a move to another city, you could create a Weavr with your preferences but geolocate it in the city you are moving to. That way, the Weavr will trawl around finding places, experiences and content that might interest you in your new home.
и еще:
From Wired.co.uk’s experience, our own personal Weavr (@livvyweavr) produced interesting content around 50 or 60 percent of the time — checking into Hawksmoor, finding animal-themed jewellery on Etsy, and reading Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood.
чудесно, я думаю. куда интереснее многих “живых”.
