It's literally an episode of Max Headroom. https://www.maxheadroom.com/index.php?title=Episode_ABC.2.2:...

I'm petty sure that Ray Kurzweil was working on this very thing when Google brought him on.

The documentary with him saving his father's writings and such was one of the saddest things I've seen - that moment has stuck with me for years.

I suppose the people who will be paying for such a service will be the loved ones left behind, not the one's dying. I wonder if the doppelgangers will start to talk to each other in the graveyard in the middle of the night?

If two digitized ghosts are talking but no air gets vibrated, do they make a sound?

This is definitely what silicon valley would consider a good startup idea.

cripes does anybody remember Google People

How could I possibly forget?
