I’ve started making a list of apps or technologies that promise one thing, but deliver mostly the chance at self-deception. You can check that list out in my newest post, but also:

Can you think of more examples?

1/3 My parents got a Roomba. Less than two years later, it was gone. The reason?
'I spend more time preparing the house for the robot than I would have if I vacuumed myself.'
Sound familiar?

"I spend more time preparing the house for the robot than I would have if I vacuumed myself."

My parents’ Roomba story made me consider modern tech, and I've realized: many tools promise progress but deliver illusion.

What would you add to the list?

Have you tried/considered going in the direction of digital minimalism?
Why/why not?

Has any minimalist measure stuck with you for longer?

salary credited… but at what cost?

late nights. silent stress. “i’m fine” when you weren’t.
and now even payroll is automated — fast, perfect… but does it feel right to you?

i’m doing a research to understand *your real experience* with payroll systems.

A brand new episode of Redefining #Society & #Technology Podcast, on ITSPmagazine

Living Forever (Sort Of): AI Clones, Digital Ghosts, and the Problem with Perfection

Bruce Y. Lee and I met once again in our favorite make-believe bar to explore what might be one of the most unsettling — and fascinating — questions of our time: What happens when your AI clone outlives you?

In this episode, Bruce Y. Lee and I explore digital immortality, algorithmic relationships, and what makes a person… well, a person. Star Trek, deepfakes, AI therapists, and dead celebrities all make an appearance. Is it still you if your clone outlives you?

Let’s discuss!

– Star Trek ethics and uncanny valleys

– ChatGPT friendships that feel a little too real

– What it means to build a digital legacy you never signed off on

– And whether a recreated version of “you” is still… you 👻 🫢

From #holograms to memory simulations, #socialengineering to emotional #algorithms, we’re not here to decide what’s right or wrong — just to ask: where does reality end, and where does the replica begin?
