The last link in this week’s batch, MyHeritage, is probably the creepiest piece of technology that I’ve seen a long time. I don’t know why anyone would think this is healthy. Yes, it’s technologically interesting and a feat of engineering and computing power. But, why would you want to do this? Let alone attempt to build a company out of this. I dropped in a few famous people, it worked. The most interesting experiment I found was using a Pixar image of Woody from Toy Story–it got very weird but did work. Welcome to the future.
