Summary
"Rest in Peace" used to be the final word. In 2026, the industry is saying "Stay in the Stack." We’re officially in the era of the $36M Digital Immortality market. With companies like You, Only Virtual and Uare.ai , we are no longer consuming memories—we are consuming simulations. But as California’s new AI disclosure laws kick in this month, we have to ask: at what point does "comfort" become "denial as a service"? In this episode, we'll be discussing: The rise of "Thanabots" Why "Second Death" (startup bankruptcy) is the new digital trauma. How to reclaim your "Right to be Forgotten." #Podcast #DigitalAfterlife #EthicsOfAI Join in on the discussion on our Discord - https://discord.gg/JMTPN2MwQQ Get yourself some Dubby energy drink mix and enjoy 10% off on us with code CONSUME10 - https://www.dubby.gg/
