Quotes:

Give Eternime access to your social media profiles and the startup's
algorithms will scrape your posts and interactions to build a profile.
It will see the photo of the muffin you posted to Facebook and the
article on retirement finances you shared on LinkedIn. The algorithms
will study your memories and mannerisms. They'll learn how to be
"you."
The result: a digital copy of you.

"The idea is not original," Urasche says of his zeroes-and-ones
reproductions, which he calls "immortal avatars." The avatars, he
says, will eventually interact with your loved ones via Eternime's
mobile apps.

"For us it is really important to emphasize that we do not want to
preserve the banalities of the life of a person," Ursache said.
Rather, he and his team "would much more like to create a digital
legacy that allows your great-grandchildren to interact with their
great-grandfather -- and beyond."

This is not mind uploading, but it could be a bit like a recording of
some of your best comments.
Maybe it could develop, in conjunction with AI, to be a creative
version of yourself that grows and develops from the original basic
copy
