  • The Future of Remembrance: Are You Ready for Your Digital Twin?
    2024/09/10
    Read time: under 8 minutesWelcome to The Art of Memorialising (TOaM), Digital Legacy Edition #18.Whether you’re interesting in exploring the cutting edge of digital afterlife and digital immortality, or curious about the art of preserving your life stories, TAoM is here helping you leave a meaningful legacy online and off.In This Issue:* Preserving memories and revolutionising dementia care with Sensay.* When planning a final send-off becomes a celebrity affair. * Who owns your data after your death and how do you feel about it being monetised? * Death Bots - a help or hindrance to mourning the loss of a loved one?Feature Product - Sensay: Building Digital Immortality For AllHow would you like to preserve your life story forever in digital immortality?Imagine all your memories, life stories and experiences, preserved. A digital clone of you to chat with for your future generations. That is available to you now, through Sensay. Your digital twin knows everything you know, talks like you, and even looks like you. That’s what a Sensay Replica does.At Sensay, there is a library of demonstration replicas you can chat with to see how the idea works. Famous figures, past and present. For fun, I had a little chat with Aretha Franklin.There are endless ways this AI technology could preserve your life story while you can remember and tell it. But what if your memories, or a loved one’s, are disappearing through dementia or Alzheimer’s? Dan Thompson founded Sensay on the principles of memory preservation to aid dementia patients. Thinking about how you could develop these ideas could prove revolutionary for families and those who suffer from such illnesses. It would be interesting to see some actual cases of its use for this purpose. In later editions, I’ll revisit the product with an update. Even perhaps patients who face Motor Neurone Disease taking their voice, now unable to speak the stories of their life anymore, could do through a replica forever?* What do you think about this idea? * Does the idea of preserving your wisdom and experiences in this way appeal to you? * How could this be used to store and access generations of life stories from your family?The recent release of the road map to digital immortality with true fully autonomous replicas by 2029, was complimented by the recent updated Replica studio. Now choose a Replica for work or a personal persona. Then evolve it over time by training your digital twin with text, pictures and videos. Dan Thomson recognises facing huge ethical challenges in this field. But having the possibility for revolutionary care is worth solving those issues.

  • I've Missed You! - A Heartfelt Hello and a Sneak Peek at Something Special For You! (And it's not about A.I.)
    2023/07/12

    It’s been a while hasn’t it?

    I’ve missed our monthly conversations about the delicate, but essential Art of Memorialising. While this catch up is not a newsletter (they’ll be coming back soon) - it certainly is news!

    My absence from writing these past six months has not been without cause. I’ve been on a quest that has taken my full attention and energy.

    It’s now one I am excited to share with you.

    Do you remember our last conversation? It was about how I just couldn’t do it all?

    In my time away, I’ve been working on a project very dear to my heart. Years of empathy and listening to people’s stories led to this project. The art of memorialising someone we love begins with the words said, when we say a last goodbye.

    The countless times I’ve heard the phrase, “I want to say a few words at the funeral, but...” became a calling for me. It inspired me to create a tool to support and empower people in crafting personal heartfelt eulogies for their loved ones.

    And so, I am thrilled to announce that I’m ready to publish my new book titled:

    I Want to Say a Few Words: How To Craft a Heartfelt Eulogy for a Loved One’s Funeral. A Simple Step-by-Step Process, Packed with Eulogy Writing Ideas, Help & Advice from a Professional Eulogy Writer

    This compassionate guide helps to create a heartfelt eulogy that is more than just filling in a template. It’s so much more than that.

    Let me give you a sneak preview of my writing process.

    BTW I use Atticus - An Author's Best Friend - for writing and publishing and it’s fantastic!

    But here’s the best part of this edition. This isn’t just any announcement.

    As a part of the Art of Memorialising Community, you’ll be getting an exclusive opportunity in the coming days. A chance to secure a copy of the book at a special, reduced price for a short time only.

    Look out for more details soon. I can’t wait to share the results of the last six months with you.

    In the meantime, please accept a heartfelt thank you for your patience during my silence. I’m looking forward to our renewed conversations.

    So much has happened in the last six months. Soon I’ll be bringing you up to date with the latest news on digital legacy and digital immortality and even deeper explorations into the Art of Memorialising. And yes, I will probably be talking about A.I.

    With warmth and gratitude,

    Pete

    There’s much more to come. Keep an eye on your inbox for the next update about the book, and as always, feel free to reply to this email with any thoughts or questions you may have.
