The transporter is basically fork() followed immediately by SIGKILL.
- garaetjjte 5y agoNot really, as fork() involves COW so nothing is really copied, and subsequent SIGKILL will only remove process structures, not data itself.
- emptyparadise 5y agoI think that opens a whole new can of worms for philosophical debates but the paradox still stands. How would a sentient AI feel about executing `if (fork() > 0) { exit(0); }` in its own process?
