2024-03-3116 minDigital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechDeath Tech and the Creation of an AI EssenceHistorically, portrait photography has been a medium for capturing a person’s external likeness. Essence is a term that was borrowed from portrait painting. Essence adds an extra layer of meaning to the image, something internal. In the case of photography, the photographer aims to capture something intangible that reveals their unique personality and identity. The notion of essence then provides a philosophical framework for examining whether photorealistic generative artificial intelligence personas can possess human essence and offer something that captures the essence of the subject’s experience, emotions, and moral agency in the context of AI personas.

ImmigrantlyMashing up the Conversation on GriefToday I’m joined by Amy S Choi and Rebecca Lehrer, co-founders and co-hosts of The Mash-Up American podcast, which features stories and interviews on the things that make us who we are: culture, relationships, and identity. I feel a kindred spirit for these two since Immigrantly bears many similarities. Starting in 2013, The Mash-Up American has been telling stories, from zany ones on ginger being the old-school viagra to thorny topics like sickness & death.

2023-01-1048 minDigital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechDeath and the Digital Afterlife: Elon Musk and the problem with immortalityInteractive internet-based technologies are transforming the way in which we understand death, grieving, and coping with loss. Online communication together with changes in social and religious attitudes in western society has created a space where the individual is part of the collective. The transition from analog to digital combines the private with the public and the real with the virtual.
Feeding the digital afterlife zeitgeist are tech giants who are eager to build a synthetic heaven where big egos go to die. The idea of a synthetic heaven is offensive to many with long-standing religious beliefs even...

八九不离食Vol. 12 | 摘掉滤镜，看“地中海饮食”【主播的话】
说到地中海饮食，你最先想到的是橄榄油或意大利饮食吗？因为硕士阶段一学期意大利都灵大学的课程，我不仅拥有了一个摩卡壶，也免不了要学当地人引以为豪的地中海饮食知识。又因为有个意大利室友，我也算对意大利饮食文化有些耳濡目染的了解。不过，地中海饮食远不止意大利饮食或南欧饮食！让我们先了解地中海饮食的丰富性和争议后，再决定要不要“饮食移民地中海”吧。
【本期配料】
01:22 在意大利室友家住了一周，沉浸式“地中海饮食”体验
03:31 划重点：理论上的地中海饮食是啥？
12:30 被忽略的地中海东岸和南岸：关于地中海饮食的争议和局限
14:15 哪种饮食模式最适合我？因地制宜，因人而异

2022-11-3016 minDigital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechThe death tech industry is booming but will it help or hinder how we grieve? And what happens to all that data?Does digital privacy continue after death and how safe is our data from cybercrime? What happens to social media accounts when we die? Most people don’t know what to do with their data or that social media accounts like Facebook, can be memorialized and legacy executors can be appointed.
A service that creates a digital replica of someone without their participation raises complex ethical issues regarding consent and privacy. Companies are not obliged to check that the users of their services are consensual or in fact, have died. There is no law stopping anyone from creating an...
2022-11-1219 minDigital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechThe Death of Photography in the Digital Afterlife - How Artificial Intelligence is Replacing Family Photography and Changing How we Grieve.Photography can no longer represent our identity. Our identity can no longer be represented by the two-dimensional flat surface of a photographic image alone. Photography has had its day. The photograph as a referent of our identity will be replaced by an AI Hologram.
In the 21st-century digital world, our identity is represented by multiple forms of technology. In addition to photography — digital video, social media posts, text messaging, and online writing — artificial intelligence is designed to replicate and converse with us. Taken together they form a fuller picture of who we are. From this online data, a na...
2022-11-0429 minDigital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechShould Artists and Photographers be at war with big tech companies and the potential of AI-Generated Art?The creator economy is a $1 Billion industry. AI-generative art is a radical approach to art-making where humans and machines collaborate to produce art with future possibilities for how we are able to work and play. Meta, Google, and other startups have flocked to the AI art economy potential. Big tech is pushing investment in art-producing Generative AI and applying the tech to other forms of content creation like music and podcasts. Tech companies are using Generative AI to build chatbots that can converse with originality and it's no wonder that generative art is dubbed the ‘second wave’ of AI. Much...
2022-10-2708 minDigital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechThe Evolution of the Death Tech IndustryArtificial intelligence is changing the way we live, connect, and grieve but will digital immortality allow us to live forever? Digital immortality refers to uploading, storing, or transferring a person’s personality into a digital entity or cyberspace, or a computer. As the technology of digital immortality becomes more popular and available, people will find new ways of using AI-generated digital personas.
Our identity has already shifted from the photograph to online social networks and is increasingly moving towards AI technology. And this is where the real revolution begins, in AI and its ability to represent who we...
2022-10-2021 minDigital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechWho Owns the Copyright of AI-Generated Art? Plus the Wild West of Celebrity NFTs Gets BustedAI image generators like Dalle are rightfully raising concerns from artists about creative ownership. AI generators are trained on millions of photos and learn to identify things from existing photos. Some of Dalle’s images are machine-made with the user only contributing text prompts, so it’s not copyrightable at all, according to Wired. Remember the monkey selfie copyright case? These images are more likely to be public domain and not owned by anyone, and therefore, free to use. More user input, like editing, could lead to human-made authorship and would be eligible for copyright. But do commercial technology comp...
2022-10-1308 minDigital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechHow Artificial Intelligence is Disrupting the Healthcare IndustryArtificial intelligence has caught the zeitgeist of the 21st century. AI is no longer a fantasy concept exchanged by scientists and researchers predicting an uncertain time in the future. In the second decade of the century, AI is as omnipresent as it is mundane. Take the healthcare industry. AI has seamlessly integrated into workflow and systems to focus on patients and on providing more person-centered care that previous bureaucracy, technology, and organizational structure have grappled with. Is it too good to be true? I also discuss my personal experience with dementia and how AI is helping with early detection.

Digital Afterlife: Hollywood & TechHow the Digital World is Disrupting the Way We Grieve. From Queen Elizabeth to familiar loss, death connects us all.In the past weeks, two influential women of a similar age died. One was the most famous woman in the world and the other was my aunt. Queen Elizabeth’s death at 96 on the 8th of September was followed by ten days of national mourning in the UK.
In the 21st century, grieving practices have evolved again to incorporate past cultural practices which are equally driven by technology, society, and the human condition.
Who are the providers of grief technology that bridge the gap between the living and the dead? Victorian portrait photographers and AI en...

Shandong cuisine is commonly known as Lu Cai in Chinese because present-day Shandong Province belonged partly to the Lu State during the Spring and Autumn Period nearly 3000 years ago.
As one of the oldest types of cuisine in the world, Lu Cai is at the fount of northern Chinese cooking, having been followed and developed by the imperial court chefs.
Shandong has a 3000-kilometer-long coastline with the Yellow River running through it, with most of the province's lands plains and low-lying land. Because of its warm, temperate climate, Shandong possesses many raw materials for cooking and can afford t...
