A brand new episode of Redefining #Society & #Technology Podcast, on ITSPmagazine

Living Forever (Sort Of): AI Clones, Digital Ghosts, and the Problem with Perfection

Bruce Y. Lee and I met once again in our favorite make-believe bar to explore what might be one of the most unsettling — and fascinating — questions of our time: What happens when your AI clone outlives you?

In this episode, Bruce Y. Lee and I explore digital immortality, algorithmic relationships, and what makes a person… well, a person. Star Trek, deepfakes, AI therapists, and dead celebrities all make an appearance. Is it still you if your clone outlives you?

Let’s discuss!

– Star Trek ethics and uncanny valleys

– ChatGPT friendships that feel a little too real

– What it means to build a digital legacy you never signed off on

– And whether a recreated version of “you” is still… you 👻 🫢

From #holograms to memory simulations, #socialengineering to emotional #algorithms, we’re not here to decide what’s right or wrong — just to ask: where does reality end, and where does the replica begin?

In the hope of living a long life (and avoiding misfortune) people would drink saké mixed with chrysanthemum petals on the 9th of the 9th.
The flowers have long been a symbol of immortality.

#Biden was not quitting …a personal & national #existential undertaking…a 'battle for the soul of the nation.'

“Top #leaders are driven by a quest for #immortality through their #leadership #legacy.…

“Biden is deservedly proud of his record…, having delivered a strong #economy w/plunging #inflation (7.5% to 2.7%), the lowest #unemployment (3.8%) in decades, #growth that is driving 80% of the #WorldBank’s forecast, & #EnergyIndependence w/ US becoming the world’s largest #energy exporter.

"It seems obvious that for the sake of each other and for our future, we somehow need to find a way to moderate our stubborn emotional attachment to the national flag as exemplified by the national football team. Of course, not just football - any team sport could be inserted."

Thinking about Immortality after starting to talk about it in class. It's doing amazing things with narrative and agency. If you are someone who likes puzzley games and piecing together a story (that sometimes doesn't seem to want to be pieced together), give it a shot. Check the content warnings.

Did you know that many a noble died in #Ancient #China due to #magical mishaps?

In old China, #immortality was greatly desired. It was believed that #minerals could transfer their powers to those worthy.

Cinnabar & mercury were the original elixirs, while gold was also used by #alchemists.

#Deadly side-effects were recorded from the 3rd c. onwards. And yet, it wasn’t until the 18th c. that consumption ceased.

The last Emperor to die of Alchemical Poisoning was Yongzeng, of Qing in 1735.
