MOVED TO PLUSH.CITYany mf who honestly thinks that uploading your mind into a computer will let you live forever has never had to restore a file from 12 years ago in a format that doesn't exist anymore
also: how do you even "upload" your mind? your consciousness is stored in physical form - neural pathways. even if you find a way to somehow transfer them into digital form, i am not sure that the copy of your brain will be the actual you with YOUR OWN consciousness, and not just an independent copy of you.
The Duality of Xan@tillianisafox Honestly, that's how I've always thought it would work. If it's not the same you, can it really be considered the same you?

MaxTheFox@XanIndigo @tillianisafox I'd consider it "me" if my perspective transfers (i.e I still see and hear and feel). I'd be fine with incremental uploading, then, but not instant uploading as that feels perspective-destroying.
