Your AI Afterlife version of you will be trapped in a Google/Grok/Microsoft Heaven365 box. It’s not you. It’s whatever the default the Epstein Class decide to give you, plus the minimal legally required amount of personality to justify an “afterlife subscription.” When you children call you to show you their first Grandbaby, you’ll spend most of the call telling them about the refreshing taste of Pepsi and how glad you are to now have unlimited access to name brand items in Heaven365.
