I meant - "you would want to experience" - as in you personally (you = one human being).
Edit: Sorry, I corrected my older comment, it was supposed to say "sensors and effectors far away from brain".
You cannot effectively "be present" [1] at the remote world if your perceive-think-act loop would be spread over large distance.
So even if you would be in silico, you would still need to transfer your actual hardware, not just dumb robots.

- gravitycop 18y agoWhat I meant by in silico was existence in computer hardware. Sending 100 lbs of computer+powersupply there means being there, without being spread telepresently over large distances.
- gravitycop 18y ago(you = one human being) If, as I originally posited, humans were to evolve into in silico entities, then human beings (= naked apes) would not exist, would they (other than, perhaps, as specimens on display in zoos)?
