This reminds me of my "proposal" (it was to be a short story, actually) for "Natural Minds"; taking undamaged dead human brains and rebooting them in a nutrient vat (this has been done with pig brains to a very limited extent), hooking them up to something like a neuralink, and offering their use in a chat box as "Natural Intelligence" on the Internet. As I noted somewhere in the summery, the cool thing is that the dead have no surviving legal rights anymore even in their own minds... This idea, really for a horror story, actually grabbed a VC's beating heart as a possible unicorn! That could have been my one success with the SV VC community!

Hehehe, I'm not sure if I'm more scared by the prospect of somebody reanimating me post mortem, or more thrilled by the idea of reanimating the junkware spreaders post mortem, to provide them with some karma because of their deeds ...
