If you haven't seen Primer, I recommend it.
MILD SPOILER: If you could make short-lived copies of yourself, you should probably keep a close eye on them. After all, you're clever, they're clever. You're motivated to keep existing, so are they.
- AgentME 10y ago>You're motivated to keep existing, so are they. This is kind of the point I'm arguing against. I'm sure many people would have struggles with their copies, but I think someone disciplined and with the right (well, useful) definitions of self and the meanings of survival internalized could avoid the issue entirely, and accept their short-livedness if they know another instance of themselves is going to continue.
