AI Ozzy and the Death of Endings

When reports emerged that an AI-powered version of Ozzy Osbourne could continue interacting with fans after his death, many people focused on the technology.I found myself thinking about something else. For most of human history, art survived the artist.Using Ozzy Osbourne as a starting point, this episode explores digital resurrection, AI, memory, grief, nostalgia, Mark Fisher’s “slow cancellation of the future,” and what happens when culture becomes increasingly uncomfortable with endings.Is AI Ozzy really a story about technology? Or is it a story about our growing inability to let things go?
