In Caprica, the Battlestar Galaticia, spinoff - a dead character was embodied in a robot and trained on social media content... But in the real world, who owns your LLM dupe output after you die?
Thanks for the reminder. FOr some reason I had to put that down a couple episodes in. May re-watch it again from the beginning. Hope I haven't shelved it due to woke cringiness as I still don't tolerate that.
I actually enjoyed Caprica more than BSG, since the worldbuilding was so much richer and more interesting to me. Particularly the roots of the conflicts between the colonies and the eventual rise of the Cylons. It felt like it was a better paced show overall, again imo. Though I did enjoy BSG, too!
The parent comment was talking about Caprica, which is different than BSG.
But some people get worked up about how the OG Starbuck was a hard-drinking, hard-partying man but the 2004 Starbuck was a hard-drinking, hard-partying woman lmao

If you haven't read it yet, enjoy[1] QNTM's Lenahttps://qntm.org/mmacevedo - it's a short story that covers ownership of a hypothetical human brain-upload. so not quite an LLM dupe, but a higher-fidelity snapshot of an actual human mind (in the fictional universe).
William Gibson wrote about similar stuff in various stories in the collection “Burning Chrome” and in Neuromancer. IIRC, there was an elite hacker whose mind had been saved in ROM, the Dixie Construct, I think. It was helping with a job. It’s reward if they succeeded? It wanted to be erased. Not really a spoiler, just a detail that I was reminded of by this discussion.
yes thanks for reminding, I recall something about a cult soldiers of the one creating a perfect 'heaven' for uploaded consciousness of fallen mates. man its getting darker by the day.
technically the 'data' is owned by you but say google has ability to create search databases from it. they could argue the character is their copyrighted work. dont know .. seems like a super gray area.
