I really don’t understand the “uploading” thing. Even if it works it’s obviously not you.
Of course I’m the kind of person who wouldn’t use a star trek style transporter.

- lanstin 4y agoThere is a sort story where the first successfully uploaded human is used as a cyberslave for customer service and other unpleasant sort of jobs. He comes online, gets trained, does the job for a wile, then goes insane and is reset back to trained state. https://qntm.org/mmacevedo https://qntm.org/mmacevedo

- sowbug 4y agoIt's good for everyone but you. Think of it more like having kids, but instead of passing on your nature/nurture, you pass on your exact personality and memories. From everyone else's perspective, you're now immortal, the same way your bloodline has a shade of immortality ("you sound just like your grandmother," "he looks like his father," "we've passed this family tradition down for generations"). Unfortunately, the mortal being that is you will still die, or at least remain mortal (subject to Ship of Theseus arguments).
