Agreed. Especially given our limited (read: virtually nonexistent) understanding of how, exactly, consciousness is created, it seems to me that this gradual transition through an organically integrated component is the most likely scenario by which a digital consciousness could be created.

- nbadg 11y agoI'd say that's certainly what we're closest to, but isn't the point to actually experience the transition? If all you have is an imitation, then you're still dead. Though, it might be nice to create duplicates of yourself to get more done in the day.
