Quick update from the dating app world. Due to the pandemic, profile mentions of "vaccine" are seeing a huge spike. But it's not as simple as you might think.

In creepy technology news, Microsoft has filed a patent for chatbots that "revive dead loved ones", using their images, voice data, social media posts, and electronic messages. Wait-- this sounds familiar. I wonder if they just brought a DVD of Black Mirror to the patent office and said "this". One thing's for sure: if they can really bring the dead back to life, we're definitely getting another Tupac album!
