    The topic is interesting. Death bots.

    The graphics are very innovative.

    eta: Looks like you need a subscription to see the graphics. But give it a shot anyways....

      I was able to see the graphics and they’re very good! Not sure that the format is good for conveying information, though. It’s too slow.

      The story itself is disturbing. Not just the AI part, it’s not much different than leaving an autobiography, but the way the author is using it to air old grievances over and over. This can’t be healthy.

      Then there is the gaslighting. The fabrication of the mountain story. Will the machine continue to make up more stuff over time? I suspect it will and to what end?

      It’s not something I want to get involved in. When I die I want you to bury me, warts and all, and get on with your life.

        A man from India told a group in Moab.
        People in the western world spend too much time thinking about death. You will die, successfully.
