Not the place I expected to encounter some Andrew Lloyd Webber lyrics

It’s an interesting one. Twenty years ago I wouldn’t have given this any real thought, but today logging in to someone’s daily driver laptop, or their smartphone is opening a window into their inner lives and thoughts (authentication notwithstanding) - maybe it’s just this century’s version of discovering someone’s stack of diaries in the 1900"s.

Aside from YouTubers (other platforms are available) buying rando e-waste off eBay and trawling through hard drives to see what’s on it, maybe there’ll even be people dedicated to looking through personal devices to find out what happened up to a certain date in time. The data’s there to be revealed, after all.

For me, it’ll probably end up with “man he was boring as fuck, but he did love a meme”.

On a brighter note - someone released a great game called Last Seen Online covered by AlphaBetaGamer which was very, very well done if a little janky in certain areas. Peak early-2000s nostalgia for this sort of thing, angsty popups and everything.

I’ve thought about writing stuff specifically to be read after I die; but I’m completely certain that nobody, not even those close to me, would actually look through my things if I were to suddenly die tomorrow so such messages would go unread indefinitely.

You should blog anyway, statistically someone somewhere will read it if it’s hosted or archived.

I already post damn near every thought I have via Tumblr or comments here on Lemmy (and the 10 years before Lemmy on Reddit). Should be plenty of material to build an accurate psyche profile of me for the history books.

I am merely lamenting the fact that those who know me IRL and even care about me don’t actually show interest in me, nor are they the kinds of people who go through a dead person’s belongings as a way of mourning or remembering them. Random people online show more interest in my thoughts and feelings than my own family.

If you’re so inclined you could use an open source LLM like llama to make a parrot version of you.

I’ve thought it while using Janitor. I would want some way of having it just get my posts from user accounts without having to manually copy and paste everything into the AI. I haven’t dived deep into these things to know how to do that.

It would be surreal to talk to myself while not also knowing what I’m going to respond.

Here’s an attempt someone made at user post scraping, just be mindful of adding waits between your requests otherwise you might get blocked because of the frequency of your requests, stackoverflow.com/…/web-scraping-every-forum-post…

that’s pretty fucking creepy. there’s been ideas like that floating around for some time but i kinda want to be remembered as myself rather than some shitty GPT clone of myself

nifty OP ,

No worries, GPT or other LLMs cannot “clone” you anyway, in their current state or any future state, mainly because of epigenetics (at least I think so). But maybe some big brain somewhere will prove me wrong.
