A program as a last will and testament

Name: Anonymous 2014-05-17 15:04

Over the past 2 years, I've seen more than 6 people die. That is on average about one person every 4 months.

How about instead of making a non-interactive dead-tree testament, we make a testament that describes our wishes as a compilable and encrypted program. The keys will be shared according to Shamir's secret sharing[1]. And you trust your friends with the keys.

When you die? Your friends[2] share the keys with each other and one or multiple of those friends (if savvy enough) will be able to decrypt, compile, run the testament program and finally give it input according to the circumstances of your death.

If you've died because of unknown circumstances? Would you want an autopsy to be done? What if you have a boyfriend[3]?
What if a car crash or a terrorist kills you? Do you want to your family to press charges? Do you even want a funeral?

I think funerals are lame and inherently bad for the deceased' friends and family. The inherently toxic nature of the idea that "we must honor the dead publicly, NO EXCEPTIONS" is nothing more than religious and social stigma. I also think it's pretty much a circle jerk and pretty traumatizing for pretty much all alive parties involved.

So we just make an AI with the exact personality as ourselves so when we die it can speak in our place on what should be done with our body, etc?
Seems fairly trivial.

I will not need a funeral, for Allah will grant me a rightful place in the eternal life after I slay some infidels.

But then have you really died?

What if you and at least another friend of yours are hanging out together and get killed by an exploding mudslime?

That's right, your circlejerk is now useless because Shalom's secret sharing scheme needs all the secrets to be available.

Why do you put a closing bracket before a sentence? Did your mom drop you on your head?

All atheists were dropped on their heads as babies thrice.

Where in my post does it say I've posted in this thread before? I'm not an atheist, where did you get that from?

Also, the other person being an atheist doesn't excuse your incapacity at writing a simple post.

If you programmed in Lisp according to the precepts espoused in the SICP (all praise be upon Abelson), you would already know that it is indeed trivial.

When you die? Your friends[2] meet and slap ballsacks.
