Nothing fancy.

Had a great talk at an elementary school yesterday about how their teachers and staff can create a more neuro-inclusive space...

The simple message: Learn to Love YOU, and see others as PART of YOU - through that, lead with CURIOSITY

We do not have the capability to replicate human minds in the form of a piece of technology. We simply do not.

At *Best*, tech like this should be considered a remixed version of holding onto a loved one's letters or art or voicemails after they die.

Selling it as anything more than that? Just no.
Anyone who says they want to see the “complete and total eradication of grief” vastly overrates what bots will be able to do but also speaks to how tech solutionists misunderstand what it means to exist in the world. A hollow amalgam of a loved one’s utterances can never replace what is lost.
Back from the dead: could AI end grief? – video
Tech entrepreneur Justin Harrison is on a mission to fundamentally change how we experience loss, using artificial intelligence to recreate the essence of dead loved ones from their digital footprint....
