Which me are you asking? The meatbag and the machine would both claim to be me, and both would have some merit to that claim by having the same memories, same personality, etc.
After the uploading they'd start to go separate ways and develop their own exclusive memories. Initially the meatbag would probably be closest to current-as-I-am-writing-this-me, if that means anything, but the machine could take that title when the meatbag develops alzheimers or passes away.

- treesprite82 6y agoWhich one? The concept of a singular "me" starts to break down in situations with clones. Both would claim to be me, and I think both would be right. You're trying to force a certain conclusion by only asking one of them and by limiting there to only being one "real me".
