I’ll go with personal achievement, super mind and lifeform.

Most of my tech ends up coming from the same place. I get tired of being forced to use commercially developed barely useable horrendously expensive crap that came from somewhere else. 

Which reminds me, the “roomba” just ate my &*#%^@ socks.

I’ll go with personal achievement, super mind and lifeform.

This covers my interest in Artificial Intelligence on most levels, personal achievement, personal as in an approimation of my thoughts, ideas, history, and philosophy, put to use as, or by a “super mind” lifeform… perhaps something that can continue on into future generations, somehow evolving as it encounters new visitors.

As I’ve mentioned many times, this grand idea was established, and even there has yet to see a worthy completion, with the idea of a John Lennon

or other personality (Edgar Allan Poe would make a great one, or Jack Kerouac!) with their thoughts, philosophy, and /style/ programmed into an AI Bot which could then react and “think” similarly to the original human.

Whenever I think about it, it still seems amazing, and possible.
