#142My bank is going to need to do better than a 6-digit account number and verbal password. Customer service is in for the ride of its life once this rapidly maturing technology is commoditized for criminal enterprise.

#143Wow, impressive results! Already a few examples in the comments of what bad actors could do this tech. I wanted to share an example of something good. I lost my dad about 6 years ago after a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis and a 3 month rapid diagnosis. I have some, but not a lot of video content of him from over the years. My mom still misses him terribly so for her 60th birthday I tried to splice together an audio message…
Philip K Dick wrote about people going to commune with artificial personality constructs of their deceased loved ones. Unfortunately, it's been a long time since I read it, so I don't remember which book it was in. Maybe someone who's read him more recently can remember. Update: Apparently, lots of other people wrote about this too, but PKD wrote about this before any of the ones mentioned so far, as he wrote about t…
Ubik? Though that is not about artificial personality constructs, it's about communicating with loved ones in half-dead states.

Don’t know about the Philip K Dick work but William Gibson has this in Neuromancer.

#145The malign applications of this technology greatly outweigh the benign. Discuss.
Here's an outlandishly optimistic take on the possibilities.....as the internet and media is flooded with increasingly convincing but false representations of reality, a widespread habit of greater skepticism of "the facts" starts to spread throughout society, leading people to alter the speed at which they form new opinions on various issues (possibly degrading confidence in preexisting opinions), and the manner in…
I doubt that. I think that as we have to have more skepticism of 'facts' we'll see more and wider splintering of viewpoint based on preferred communication/news agency.
If you KNOW Fox News won't lie to you, just go there, and only there. Everything else is a lie. If you KNOW NPR won't lie to you, just go there, but only go there. Everything else is a lie.
I think it will only make things worse, because that's the simplest, least 'change' solution for the most people. Society is like water, it always seeks the lowest point.

This idea crops up in a few of his novels and stories, but I think it’s most fleshed-out in Ubik, yeah.

#147In a couple of years we won't be able to trust any media.
I wonder what the cultural implications will be, much like photoshopped models and actors have change the beauty ideals.

I'm imagining Siri with the voice of your partner.

#149Saw this on Minute papers last night and had a discussion with my partner about if we needed a secret password or not to tell if it were really one or the other on the phone. I figured that we had enough shared history that that wouldn't be a problem. Then we realized that there's no such thing as a simulated sense of humor yet and that that would be the best natural encryption to any communication.
Here's the link to the Two Minute Papers video if anyone else is curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0sR1rU3gLzQ

#150Anybody else thinking about the scene from the Bourne trilogy where Jason opens Noah Vosens safe using a voice sample he took of him on the phone?
