We are in unprecedented times. We wake up and go to sleep digesting a sea of information on the Covid-19 pandemic.

It’s critical for everyone to shape their own perspective of world events and TheBrain enables this. Join highly acclaimed Brain architects: Jerry Michalski and Dr. Mark Trexler. Both master Brain creators will demo their own Brains on Covid-19. Shelley Hayduk and Matt Caton from TheBrain will also debut their Covid-19 TeamBrain, as well as make it available for download to all attendees.

The session provides a broad range of perspectives and expertise on Brain creation for Covid-19 to help you get started on visualizing your own perspective.

Topics Include:

Crafting an information landscape that reflects your perspective
Strategies for mind mapping complex information networks
Visualizing world events, news items and scientific data
Aggregating disparate information sources from online news to documents and twitter feeds
Creating an all-encompassing Brain or mini content-focused Brains
Visualizing information geographically
Also features interactive Q&A with Jerry Michalski and Dr. Mark Trexler

Immortalizing Ourselves as a Chatbot?

We are still far afield from this.  Will we be able someday to chat with long gone people?   Made me think of TheBrain, this blog, Brand equities like Mr Clean?  None close.   I returned to a long ago employer and found my technology explanatory entries in a wiki we created ....  but they had removed all the bylines! ... So shall it be unless you are name-famous enough to draw a crowd.   Anyway, they are researching the idea below.

Soon you can immortalize yourself as an A.I. chatbot. But should you?   In Digital Trends by @lukedormehl

Until technology allows us to upload our consciousness to a computer when our physical bodies start irreparably failing, death is going to remain a real thing. But what if you could continue communicating with loved ones — or, at least, a reasonable facsimile of them — long after they’ve shuffled off this mortal coil? It might sound like an episode of Black Mirror (it is!), but it’s also the basis for a recently announced research project being carried out at India’s Shree Devi Institute of Technology.  ... " 

Model your Knowledge: Jerry's Brain

Do you have a map of what all you have done, written, researched?   Jerry Michalski has one.  See:  https://www.jerrysbrain.com/  We looked at this as a possible means of capturing retiring expertise, in an earlier AI era.   We connected with him and prototyped the idea.  This Blog is an outgrowth of that same extended experiment.  So was our internal Wiki experiment PGPedia.   Can this be a way to start, bootstrap, maintain knowledge for assistants?

He writes, and at the link there are some good visual examples. Taking a fresh look.

" ... Imagine if you had all the things worth remembering over the past 21 years, some 374,000 items, all curated in one giant mind map. 

I have that.   ... You can use it.

This site offers some explanations and links. Enjoy!  https://www.jerrysbrain.com/
Launch Jerry's Brain on the Web.         ...         

Get the iOS app for your iPad (iPhones not recommended) ... 

Please note: the data you'll see in the Jerry's Brain iOS app doesn't go beyond 2016, and will likely remain that way. That app is written to talk with TheBrain Server 8, and I'm now on version 10. The app would need a substantial rewrite, which is out of my hands and not economically viable, given the few copies that do sell :)
