Tech cultists believe a future supercomputer could effectively "resurrect" you by analyzing your online footprint until they reverse engineer a connecteome that would have generated those exact posts under those exact circumstances.

There are multiple philosophical errors here but *if* that were true then as a logical consequence, good opsec would demand you develop at least one kink that you never disclose in public. Thus ensuring any model thus generated would never actually be you

Naw, I'm going with "lay it all out there".

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
