| 0:00.0 | Other stuff out there I saw, I thought this was interesting. |
| 0:03.0 | Jack Osborne says that Ozzy Osborne actually wanted to live on in digital form. |
| 0:08.0 | I think this was from a YouTube interview or discussion from this past week. |
| 0:13.0 | I am disturbed by the idea that people could live on in a digital form. |
| 0:18.0 | I know I might be, I don't know if I'm in the majority or minority on that, |
| 0:21.5 | but I know I might be a tad extreme and thinking it's weird. Here's Jack Osborne, though, |
| 0:26.1 | talking about how his dad, a very famous musician, actually wanted to keep existing some way, shape, |
| 0:32.4 | or form maybe at future concerts as a singer via, you know, some of those things that they do, |
| 0:39.1 | some of those weird, odd things that they do sometimes. But here's a little bit of Jack Osborne. |
| 0:43.3 | It's going to be so tasteful what we're doing. It's not going to be lame. And it's really |
| 0:47.9 | complex what we're doing. This isn't just like hooking up an image of my dad to chat GPT. This is some like high level technology that we're going to be working with and it's going to feel very real. Like it's really cool and it's something that I think my dad would be into because we actually talked about it before he passed. So yeah, you know, I know he'd be into this. Now I still don't like it. I still don't think it's cool. I still think it's weird. If you have a believable projection of a person who's no longer on earth performing at a concert that they can't perform at physically, to me it's strange. I think it also causes people to not be able to get over a loss in their life. If I take a serious shift to a what I would probably consider somewhat silly topic, although the family is actually doing this, I think that a lot of people who might want to exist in digital form after they're no longer here or the people around them that would like that, don't really want to accept the idea that they've lost a loved one. |
| 1:42.4 | And I think that that's harmful long term, not |
| 1:44.8 | helpful. I think that no matter how much you miss someone, no matter how much you care about someone |
| 1:49.2 | and you wish that they could still be here with you, I think the acknowledgement that they're not |
| 1:53.6 | here allows you to move on in ways that maybe you don't if someone. And I'm so terrified of this |
| 2:00.1 | technology because more and more I see |
| 2:02.5 | like companies out there that claim they're going to do this kind of stuff like they're going |
| 2:06.2 | to comb through somebody's social media and create a chat thing like chat GPT and AI that would |
| 2:13.0 | be reminiscent of your loved one and I just I don't think that that would be healthy for our minds. |
| 2:19.3 | I think that people are saying like if you date a AI, that's already not healthy for your mind, |
| 2:24.3 | and people are still doing it. |
| 2:26.3 | And so this would be a somewhat similar version, an intimate relationship with a loved one |
