Highlights
00:46 — In this episode, Kieron touches on the idea of immortality in the Metaverse.
01:38 — There has been a new development out of a well-established Metaverse platform called Somnium Space. The platform will be releasing a ‘Live Forever’ mode, which essentially provides your avatar with immortality.
02:00 — The biggest controversy with this has been around the amount of data that you have to give away in order for the ‘Live Forever’ mode to work effectively.
02:22 — What are the ethics around this concept? Kieron doesn’t believe this power should be left in the hands of private corporations. Rather, he considers it to almost be a medical concern. Perhaps, it should be something dealt with by grief counselors or psychiatrists.
03:11 — Private companies are well within their right to develop these technologies and these models. However, Kieron suggests there should be some kind of ethical governance that surrounds the afterlife.
