Have you ever wondered what happens to your online presence after you die?

Now with technology like AI and holograms, we're seeing a rise in reanimations to create a version of someone deceased to interact with long after they're gone. 

We've seen Tupac and Michael Jackson appear via hologram at concerts, Kim Kardashian's famous father was immortalised as a birthday present to her and just last year The Beatles released a new single using AI technology to isolate John Lennon's voice from a late 1970's demo. 

But how would you feel if someone reanimated you using your digital footprint? In this episode of The Quicky we take a look at the moral and ethical arguments around what to do with your digital remains.

In recent weeks, a judge in the US has released a trove of documents relating to a 2015 defamation case brought against convicted child sex trafficker Ghislane Maxwell.

In these documents reportedly lurked a list of celebrity names, high flying, powerful men and women who are linked to pedophile and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

So who made the list? Do we find out anything new about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton or Prince Andrew's dealings with the now late millionaire? And what do these documents reveal about the way in which the rich and powerful interact with the justice system.

The Quicky will be back with new episodes from January 15, but until then here’s one of our favourite episodes of this year. Thank you so much for being a part of The Quicky in 2023. 

Every day we are surrounded by endless information. We are taking things in when we check our phones, turn on the tv, go to the supermarket, get in our cars. It's almost inescapable. Most of us carry phones with us all day everyday. Phones that have the entire internets knowledge at the end of our fingertips. 

With our lives now so information saturated, there is research stating that our cognitive function is being impaired by too much information. 

A few years ago, entrepreneur Tim Ferriss introducer a concept called the 'low-information diet'. The concept is to limit our intake of unnecessary information to free up time and brain space. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we look at what a low-information diet is and whether it's right for you.

Next week, Aussie kids return to the school yard for their first day of 2024.

There will be those entering those gates for the very first time, full of nerves and excitement, those who are old hats and wander in like 'here we go again' and for some, it might be the very last time it’ll be their first day back at school, facing down year 12 and all that comes with it.

Today we’re looking at the different types of kids at the school gate on the first day,  how you can help with those suffering anxiety and how to handle your own emotions when your child walks in and never looks back.

You might have seen some videos on the news and social media about people being stopped by police refusing to hand over personal details. These people often say the police have no jurisdiction over them because they are Sovereign Citizens. 

These people have increased in numbers since the Covid pandemic with anti-government sentiment on the rise, many decided it's time to free themselves from the Australian legal system and declare themselves a separate entity. 

In today's episode of The Quicky we look at who sovereign citizens are, what they want and why the FBI has declared them incredibly dangerous.

Artificial intelligence, or A.I, has a lot of people nervous about just how much it can really do. We've seen movies and TV shows where A.I has taken over. 

In this episode of The Quicky, we're talking about the incredible advancements in artificial intelligence and how they're becoming so smart that they're starting to blur the lines between human and machine.

2023 saw 11 shark attacks in Australia, 3 of them fatal.

In February, 16 year old Stella Berry was bitten and killed by a bull shark in Perth's Swan River. It's the first shark fatality for Australia in 2023, and the first in The Swan River in a century. 

We all know there are sharks in ocean. We all know that they are dangerous predators.  But do you know what to do when confronted with one? 

In this episode of The Quicky, we speak to a man who was bitten by a shark not far from the same spot that Stella Berry was killed. We also hear from a shark safety diver who works with sharks every day, about what not to do if you come face to face with one of the oceans deadliest hunters.
