How to create a digital / robot twin to carry on after one has biologically died... or... simply how to simply leave behind good works and an autobiography. I don't have a good clear concept of what I'm thinking with regard to this yet but this post is a marker to pick it up later. It's based on a vision or inspirational thought similar to an episode of Twilight Zone where instead of simply leaving a Perp Trust, a billionnaire or even of ordinary means, given AI, leaves behind a full active AI-robot of themselves as well as their house and belongings, as a museum estate. Visitors would find the "same person" there for many decades, operating the "same" or "similar" way. But the person would be a sophisticated AI-continuous being/robotoid, not the original. There are short SF stories and Trek episodes that allude to something similar. The low tech alternative of leaving a biography or a one hour documentary would be similar.
