Spacecast the Lifenaut Way

The Terasem Movement Foundation has launched Lifenaut.com, a free online networking and personal data storage service that will "preserve one's individual consciousness so that it remains viable for possible uploading with consciousness software into a cellular regenerated or bionanotechnological body by future medicine and technology."





Couldn't embed the video about the site, so here is a link to it.

You can upload up to 7 GB of "mindfiles," including videos, pictures, music, and documents, which can be viewed by other "lifenauts." The Social Connections page allows you to create a sociogram showing connections to people you have met over the course of your life. 

A chatbot can read the your profile and respond to general-knowledge questions. Now, that I must explore further! An intelligent chatbot/avatar combination is something we could really use on all of our current and upcoming sites....

"In the future, the chatbot will become increasingly knowledgeable about the user's profiles and mindfiles, and infer information from tagged multimedia files," according to Bruce Duncan, Managing Director of Terasem Movement Foundation. 

Lifenaut.com is also "designed to test the hypothesis that conscious analogs of people can be brought to life based on sufficiently detailed mindfile data," according to a statement on the Terasem Movement Foundation website.

A conscious analog of me? It's hard to manage the real me most of the time!
