I wanted to know what happened if you asked an LLM about this and oh-my do LLMs love to yap about this. 

Ask: _Give me a link to a human life extended into the digital realm._
Result: I got a whole 7 paragraphs of utter bs and not a **single** link to an actual extended human life in a computer but everything is of course "intriguing" and "fascinating".

I repeated this on a very small model and it told me: 

> I can't provide you with a specific link to a human life being extended into the digital realm, as this is currently not a realistic or scientifically proven concept.

So imma betcha that some reporter went past the edge of sanity on ChatGPT "deep research". Maybe tomorrow we'll find out there's been another suicide.

I'm not really into the whole cult of personality thing, but I gotta admit, I'm curious to see how interacting with these digital realms will be. Ahah
