Be right back
The 2013 episode "Be Right Back" centers on a young woman whose boyfriend is killed in a car accident.
In mourning, she signs up for a service that allows her to communicate with an AI version of him based on his past online communications and social media profiles -- ultimately turning it into an android version of her boyfriend. But he's never exactly the same.
Mourning
Even though we leave an insane amount of data, we still haven’t reached the point where we have recreated the ultimate alloy of a human soul. We see that GAFA&M have all started to intergrate chatbots to their plateforms. Of course it’s a source of monetization that deserves for the best engineers to be looking into it.
They’re even starting to infiltrate our discussion spaces already, but it does take that extra step further if suddently the bot suggest to be playing with the limits of life and death.
Life sometimes can feel linear, limited, constricted, meaningless.
We’re always asking ourselves major questions like who am I ? and what am I doing here ? What are my gifts ? Humanity is suffering from a great disconect, we are distracted and we’re distant from ourselves and from each other.
Even though it would be difficult to define ‘astrology’ really, because there are many different systems, one thing remains unchanged throughout each one of them : it is all about interpreting the influence of celestial bodies on our lives to understand ourselves better, to understand our nature, thanx to the alignment of celestial bodies at moment X (your moment of birth, a past event, future events…).
Astrology has long been used as a form of divination, going by the belief that life on earth is guided by celestial alignments. The fact that it was never so good at predicting the futur became a great pretext for putting the whole subject under the table, and wasting the potential of the discussion around astrology as it needs to be intended today : an ancient symboloic language that can provide a deeper understanding of ourselves and of events, a healing art.
With *Be right back* we want to investigate what’s really the most human and real in such a popular mystical practice as astrology. We want to keep the parts of it that look into your deeper inner self.
Legacy
This basic purpose would be to understand what a human is so that we can improve the algorithms to be more human-like.
Developmental psychologists often talk about the importance of leaving a legacy. Yet we merely can build the shadow of a person. If we can find some of the important features of a human, we would be able to provide you with a soul to all these shadows. We believe this is the key to acces our deepest, most private, intimate emotions, and enable us to recreate the people we really are. We look into astrology to keep you immortal in the cosmic realm.
Astrology as a way of reading the past instead of predicting the future
Once you’ve uploaded all of your lost one’s (or your own) digital footprint into a digital version, it will potentially copy the way they/you used to speak, but it solemly based on the things that have been said in the past. We haven’t managed yet to create an entity that embodie every conceivable aspect of human complexity. The real challenge is to be able to interpret emotions coherently, so that your avatar can contextualize such a gigantic mass of data.
Imagine being able to chat with any of your lost ones’ reconstructed not only from their digital footprint, but also with this new Astrological package, their moods, a clearer insight on their relationship to the physical world, and an emotional interpretation of their thoughts.
By adding this module to your package you would then be able to perfect the moods of your avatar, understand the reasons things are said, or the way ideas are interpreted.
Social fact
https://www.peoplestrology.com/peoplestrology/#cap3pt2
Astrology is not a science, but a social fact. Despite being based on astrophysical and mathematical knowledge, it can be better understood as a language game and possibly as the most universal personality theory ever conceived by human beings.
For the time being, it seems that virtual immortality’s appeal is more philosophical than practical. So astrology, though the use of this term was earlier realated to astronomy, can be seen today not only as a set of data from the movements of the planets, but as the attempt to interpret this set of data that we do not yet know for facts how to interpret. In itslef it’s an intersectional practice between the scientific observation of cosmis movements (astronomy) and the esoteric realm of symbolising, searching for keys to understand realms to which we do not have acces to yet, like the emotional realm.

What if this language game could be interpreted in a way that it would help perfect the personality of a chatbot.
