A startup is pitching a mind-uploading service that is 100 percent fatal
- SiempreViernes 9y agoWow, so now the cryogenic companies have come to their logical conclusion and will actively kill their customers instead of waiting for them to die on their own. Still, I don't see why a viable brain scan from your dead brain has significantly better probability than getting your entire body rebuilt from your frozen carcass, so it seems like the competition with the straight up cryo guys for the gullible optimists should be pretty intense. Especially as cryo companies have a longer track record of staying solvent (if they have, I have not idea actually).
