Geoffrey Rockwell links to an article in Wired (may be behind a paywall; I can't tell any more with these adaptive paywalls). "The article talks about digital twin technology designed to create an avatar of a particular person that could serve as a family companion." Despite what the article suggests, we won't get good avatars of our grandparents, though. There's just not enough data from them. That's why I'm trying very hard to make sure there's a large enough body of text, audio and video to create a reasonably accurate avatar of me for the future. My hope is that it will be interesting enough to be worth talking to. Maybe that's the new sort of career ambition to have, rather than wealth or power.
