Everyone's hyping @Tavus this week so I had to test it myself.
Tavus dropped Griffin, a video model so realistic that nearly 50% of people in their own study couldn't tell it apart from a real human on a 1-min call.
I built an AI futurist agent named Deborah. Called her The Horizonist. She sees me, listens, responds face-to-face in real time. Sitting across from her for a strategy session was wild and honestly unsettling.
Asked her about the future of personal data vaults. Her take: by late 2030s, your vault becomes a living encrypted essence of your consciousness that you lease to AI agents so they act on your behalf.
Two concepts she dropped that stuck with me:
→ Zero-knowledge proofs: You prove something about yourself (age, funds, credentials) without exposing raw data. No more handing out your birthdate or bank statements to every platform. She thinks this replaces the current model where every company hoards a copy of you.
→ Goal alignment drift: The risk that your digital twin starts optimizing for a version of success you no longer want. An agent trained on 2035 you might chase goals you abandoned by 2037.
If you leased your essence to an agent, how would you know it still acts like you?
This tech is moving fast. The line between human and synthetic is blurring hard.
