A company called Life's Echo is using AI and in-depth interviews to create interactive simulations of people when they pass away. They clone your voice to make effective 'digital ghosts' full of information about your life. Post-death AI mimics are slowly becoming more prevalent, but Life's Echo is more comprehensive than most.

In 2024, artificial intelligence (AI) continued taking large and surprising steps forward. People started conversing with AI "resurrections" of the dead, using AI toothbrushes and confessing to an AI-powered Jesus. Meanwhile, OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, was valued at US$150 billion and claimed it was on the way to developing an advanced AI system more capable than humans.

While companies like Neuralink have recently provided some flashy demos of what could be achieved by hooking brains up to computers, the technology still has serious limitations preventing wider use. Non-invasive approaches like electroencephalograms (EEGs) provide only coarse readings of neural signals, limiting their functionality.

OpenAI is bringing ChatGPT to landlines; all you have to do is dial 1-800-CHATGPT. You might be thinking, "Who uses landlines in 2024?" Surprisingly, around 25% of U.adults still have landlines (though if we're talking about actual users, that number drops to just 5%), with seniors being the most likely group to use them.

Public web data is being used for various purposes, from impactful research to creating and improving products. One of the most common ways to acquire such data is through web scraping. Because it involves gathering large amounts of data published by businesses or individuals online, it raises questions such as "Is it ethical?" The short answer is yes if you're following certain practices, but we need to lay the groundwork before diving head-first into it.
