Post Description

Hi everyone! I'm a megafan of Bladerunner 2049 and the idea of preserving memories, stories, and wisdom of human beings long into the future, and for this information to be easily accessible to anyone anywhere anytime.

This is my phase 1 implementation of this vision. Phase 2 are 3D models and photorealism. Here's how it works: anyone can create Essence models of themselves or anyone else. You can train these models on information (text for now). Then, you can share this model with the world to enjoy and chat with, about anything. You can also organize a dinner party or debate with multiple Essence models to see what happens when they interact.
