You Can Now Create a Digital Clone of Yourself with Eternity.AC, an AI Startup Paving a Path to Immortality

Science fiction is coming to life with eternity.ac, a new startup offering personal digital cloning where anyone can challenge the boundaries of physical limitations with an affordable artificial intelligence that looks, talks, and converses just like you. The new venture empowers individuals to preserve their unique appearance, thoughts, experiences, and memories with a simple 3-step clone creation process.

The innovation opens up a new spectrum of meaningful AI uses, such as allowing future generations to interact with loved ones, enabling fans and followers to engage with their favorite public figures, and helping people understand the viewpoints and experiences of others. Once created, people can interact with the clone via written chat or through vocal conversations.
"With so much uncertainty in the world, we believe it's important for us, as people, to start collecting information about ourselves as soon as possible," said eternity.ac founder Alex Shastakovich. "Only then can we ensure that when the time comes, we don't vanish, but instead leave our lasting presence behind. From grandparents to creatives, everyone has something to share with future generations, and we make it possible to do so forever."

Creating a digital clone on eternity.ac is a three-step process:
  • Record your thoughts: users begin by speaking and recording their answers to 25 or more questions in one of 6 supported languages (English, Spanish, Portuguese, Polish, Ukrainian, and Belarusian) to share their thoughts, experiences, and memories.
  • Construct a lifelike 3D avatar: users then upload selfies from a few different recommended angles to create a lifelike 3D rendering of themselves.
  • Download your clone: the personal clone is then saved to the cloud and can be shared with others using a link. Users can also download their clone to a safe location or purchase an encrypted USB flash drive with their clone, ensuring the clone will live on forever.
Basic clones are free to make, and unlimited tuning and talking is available with the $20 "Plus" plan.

Eternity.ac is GDPR compliant and takes the handling of users' data seriously, including the "right to be forgotten." All sensitive user information is stored in encrypted databases and storage systems, adhering to the best industry practices. More details are available in the Privacy Policy published on the website.

User registration is now open. Those who are interested in exploring digital immortality are invited to make their clone on eternity.ac.

All I wanted was for the cyberpunk dystopia to turn up after I had retired and stopped caring but nooo, technology had to rush forward and now here we are.


That will be a hard pass from me. I don't trust companies to store my personal data let alone my personality construct.

Come back again, when you can make my conscious immortal. This is just a farce.

This is basically the first round of introductions at school in your new elementary class, placed on a USB stick.

Gotta start somewhere, I guess? Whahaa
natr0nSome of us believe in a soul and spirit. You can copy whatever ;its not real it has no substance.
Its data, which has no substance, so that's getting pretty close there. Perhaps our souls are in fact 1's and 0's, you don't know.
Yes, I am joking

Not even close to that. But even if we were able to create a perfect self aware digital copy of us, we would still die no matter what. SOMA is an excellent game and made me think a lot about my mortal self. I read somewhere that cells in our body are constantly dying and are being replaced by new ones. It can take several years for every cell in your body to be replaced. So the person that you were several years ago is literally dead. Every single cell in flesh and bones has since died and all that is left of that person is some sporadic memories we have.

This is a very well done fraud on the surface.

do they have the tagline "Secure Your Soul" somewhere or this is someone's idea of making the Relic a reality?

Durvelle27Anyone seen the show uploaded
Yup, that's the first thing I thought of. I bet the creator of this trash pile watched that and thought hmm, there is money to be made here. There's a sucker born every minute.

Ok, but can it go to work for me? answer the phone for me? Can I tweak it to fix personality flaws?

If not, then its just a toy.

Vanilla Sky but Mincraft edition.

Consciousness is the quantum interaction of our neurons and chemical messengers with our memory and sensory inputs as moderators.

Lithium 6 VS 7 Isotopes prove the quantum interactive nature with their very different reactions in our brain.

57er6uigyuholnthis is really stupid and I can already see the soy-encrusted "I fn love science" dimwit man child redditors spazzing out over this BS announcement.
I'm a redditor and I hate it. I picture most would. Like I said, sometimes garbage is garbage.

Don't worry this is to siphon data out of gullible people with too much money.

What data? It's 25 questions. It's borderline useless even if they attempted to use it for advertising.

Voice samples? hi-res pictures particularly of your face from all angles?

So they can mimic you. Making money with that legally is pretty hard.

If you are implying they plan to break the law with this, well, I like evidence. There is enough dumb about this without conjecture, mind.

I think that's the only place where you can actually clone your voice for free. And this technology is not cheap at all.

As it is registered in EU, the privacy laws are pretty strict.

they train their precious AI and resell it for more, while you get a lame dongle

A lot of phone scammers seem to be able to afford it. Last I checked you can basically do it with a reasonably beefy PC and a voice sample.

Well, those "reasonable PCs" versions don't even sound like any human voice.

I've seen somewhere on their website that they use elevenlabs for voice cloning - which, I think is the industry best at the moment. Elevenlabs is not free for voice cloning. Also they use ChatGPT-4, and if you are not aware "new sign-ups are no longer available for ChatGPT Plus subscription", which has GPT4.

So the minimum for elevenlabs + ChatGPT 4 (when it is back on, and still it has a limit of 40 messages per 3 hours only) is $5 + $20 monthly. Here you can play around for free or $20 for everything unlimited. Sounds good to me.

And the feature for downloading accumulated data is :peace:

They are literally used to scam family members, so I assume they are passable. Our local news station demonstrated the exact scam on a high end laptop running a neural net, so I know it's possible.

The ChatGPT-4 OpenAI model can be run locally. You only subscribe if you need the horsepower of the cloud, and lack the needed data. This does not, as far as I am aware.

Regarding the local news station - more likely it was done on a pre-trained model with way more than 25 audio clips. So they would spend hours before hand with a several hours of voice data. And with a single language support for a single person.

Secondly, you cannot run OpenAI chatgpt4 locally. You can train your own model using the same algorithm, but the the data they used for that and fine tuning, to get this result is not a generally accessible information.

There's an open source model llama from meta with the data, but:
1. It is not as good at all
2. You would need a powerful GPU (like A100) and enormous amount of RAM to run the 66bln params version to run it smoothly, and still it's nowhere near the OpenAI ChatGPT4.
