Better Decisions Through Data.
Wondering how the ancient Roman one percent lived? This is our photo of the pool in the Getty Villa Roman-era reconstruction in Malibu not too far from our HQ in Los Angeles, California. The Getty Villa is one of the Getty’s two famous art museums in the area. The building itself is intended to be an exact replica of a Roman-era house buried during the volcano eruption at Pompeii (obviously the owners were definitely in the Roman one percent, even back then).
So we had enough of mirrors, self-aware vampires, and Halloween-related posts and thought this would be a nice change. (We originally published as a photo post on our IG feed.)
Oh wait, never mind, there are some really old Etruscan mirrors on display here. So looks like we’re back to mirrors and artificial consciousness after all. 🙂
We’ll note that it should soon be possible to take virtual reality tours of ancient buildings, something that wasn’t possible when the Getty Villa in Malibu, CA (Wikipedia) was built. In some cases (like our earlier Giant Buddha photo) these buildings might need to be virtually rebuilt using big data and algorithms. So you’ll be able to virtually live like the Roman one percent someday.
