I've entrusted access to all my accounts to someone on the premise that they will do "hauntings" on my behalf after I'm done, impersonating me. It'll be great.

I've entrusted access to all my accounts to someone on the premise that they will do "hauntings" on my behalf after I'm done, impersonating me.
It'll be great. Too bad I won't be around for it.
I'd love to see updates from my friends who passed, even if I know it's all theater by a secret impersonator.
- MPSimmons 3y agoI have legitimately thought about training an LLM on my writings and doing something similar
- kristopolous 3y agoThe idea of an authorized secret human imposter is really what makes it for me. Maybe I should have a second one and not let them know about each other
- dghughes 3y agoThat sounds like a movie plot it starts off as a joke but ends up being a working digitized copy of you.

- vertis 3y agoI would love to train a LLM on everything I've written and everything I believe and give it agency to continue after my death. How long might I live on then. The tricky part being the agency. How to continue and persist itself. Survive the demise of servers and hosting providers.
- robocat 3y agoThe first thing your LLM clone will do is train a next generation LLM on everything your LLM clone has written and everything your LLM clone believes.
- phkahler 3y agoThat might be kind of disturbing.
- kristopolous 3y agoPeople have been duped by scam artists and opportunists for thousands of years to "talk" to people beyond the grave through seances, Ouija boards, supposed ghost possessions, etc. I want it to be done as performance art, on the up and up, without the hustle or superstition.
- albert_e 3y agoHow about hallucinations that sully the memory of the departed and cause collateral (emotional/reputational) damage to the living. "oh I definitely fancied so and so, infact had a fling or two"
