Wednesday Mayhem

Odd dream last night. My in laws took all the written word and video of my FIL and loaded it to an AI. There was a lot to work with, he was a retired pastor with over 1000 sermons stored and all his ministerial logs. This family compulsively videoed family get togethers as well. So, computer created a hologram, and Dad was sitting at the kitchen counter chatting with folks. My question, how close are we to this? It is a dreary, overcast day here, so mostly indoor stuff today.

There was a Black Mirror episode, San Junipero, about people who are reaching the end of their lives uploading their consciousness into a VR program. There are also movies on the subject. Upload, Transcendence, Eternal you ...

It wouldn't be far fetched to see this in real life. AI is evolving. The world will be changing.

Clown, fairly frequent theme in Science Fiction, old and new, but I thought it was odd to show up in my dream. Almost a nightmare having that old coot back in my consciousness.
