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.

Dude1Regarding 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.
Actually, I just googled this and it's ChatGPT3 you can run locally, not 4. That probably changes results somewhat.

The fact is scammers are using this but it may take more effort than I initially thought, thanks for the correction.

ChatGPT3 is before the "revolution". ChatGPT3.5 was a breakthrough and the training data for it is a secret. Thats one of the reasons why Open AI was criticized as they were supposed to be a non-commercial organization.

Every technology can be misused. But as long as the project is within EU jurisdiction, where privacy laws are strict, including the GDPR, it forces organizations to treat the data accordingly.

For me "Eternity.ac" project looks very promising in a way the technologies are used. And if to imagine that at some point GPT-5 is released, they'd just switch to it and clones will sound even more realistic. Even in case it shuts down in a couple of years, you still have your data downloaded and you can theoretically plug it in to another similar application, or combine everything yourself using ChatGPT3 :)
