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?

Here is a good question: Has Evolution Ended?

What if evolution as we know it is no longer biological but technological?

In this episode of the Redefining Society & Technology Podcast, I had the pleasure of diving into this profound topic with J.J. Jerome, award-winning engineer, futurist, and author of Evolution Ended: The Next Stage of American Society.

Together we explore questions that could reshape how we think about humanity’s future:

Has biological evolution stalled in the face of technological advances?

What happens when AI becomes indistinguishable from human intelligence?

How do the three types of brains—reptile, mammal, and human—play into our decision-making in this digital age?

J.J. sheds light on how technology isn’t just aiding humanity—it’s becoming part of us. From social media exploiting the emotional mammal brain to the cultural implications of treating AI as beings, this conversation will leave you questioning everything you know about evolution, technology, and society.

Remeber that Redefining Society & Technology isn’t just a podcast—it’s a platform for exploring the profound impact of #technology on #humanity. Each episode challenges conventional thinking, bringing bold ideas and fascinating stories from thought leaders around the world.

What do you think? Is evolution over, or are we entering a new chapter shaped by AI and human ingenuity?

Let’s discuss in the comments!

Wake up!
It is time to muse!

"Reimagined Realities, False Memories and Generative AI: A Journey between the Real and the Synthetic - and Hopefully Back."

In the ever-evolving complexity of reality and fabrication, we find ourselves standing at a junction where the two become almost indistinguishable, thanks, in no small part, to the advancements of Generative AI. This technology, akin to the human phenomenon of fostering false yet cherished memories, crafts digital narratives that blur the lines between the real and the artificial.

In a recent episode of "Redefining Society Podcast," we got deep into this topic, painting a vivid picture of a world where the synthetic and authentic intertwine in photography and advertising, creating a complex yet fascinating landscape that forces us to question the very fabric of reality.

As we move forward into an era of democratized fabrication tools, it becomes imperative to foster a conversation that navigates this intricate terrain with a sense of caution and awareness, encouraging discourse that looks beyond the binary of positive and negative.

I invite you to read the full exploration in my latest newsletter. Share your thoughts and join the conversation that scrutinizes the depth of reality and the role of Generative AI in molding it.

Be sure to share it with others, subscribe for more insights, and comment to steer this necessary discourse.

Cheers!
