I am creating several scenarios for the sessions I faciliate. I would love to run this one here!

IMAGINE: In 2125, AI and robotics have advanced to create perfect android replicas of deceased loved ones. These replicas not only look and sound like the original person but also behave, emote, and adapt with startling realism, drawing from extensive digital and personal archives. Families embrace them for comfort, while others view them as unsettling echoes of the past. Society is divided on whether these androids are a gift of connection or a distortion of human life.

If you had the chance to bring back a loved one as an AI, would you?

IMAGINE: In 2124, androids and humans coexist seamlessly. You’re sitting in a cozy cafe, watching two people have an intimate, almost lovers' conversation. One of them has a small glowing emblem on their wrist, an unmistakable sign that they are an android, required by law. Despite this, their connection feels real, deep, and natural, as if they’ve been in each other’s lives for years. The emblem is the only thing separating them from being human, but the conversation, full of quiet affection, feels indistinguishable from any other intimate exchange.

Given the growing movement to remove the emblem, would you support it or feel it should stay?)

I am reading The New Wave, the last book from Microsoft AI CEO Suleyman. He mentioned that a massive study pegged down the General Purpose Technologies to be only 24 in the last 10000 years (so fire is not included for example), but I can’t find the study. Does anybody know the study? This is the list btw:

Domestication of plants Domestication of animals Smelting of ore Money Wheel Writing Bronze Iron Water wheel Three-masted sailing ship Printing Factory system Steam Engine Railways Steamship Internal combustion engine Electricity Automobile Airplane Mass production Computer Lean production Internet Biotechnology

EDIT: I found the source https://www.amazon.com/Economic-Transformations-General-Purpose-Technologies/dp/019929089X

I am very interesting in sourcing various inputs from different communities. I am developing a project to help people practice their imagination of the distant but not so distant future.
