Yeah. The way I think about it is there's a good outcome where we end up as pets, a bad outcome where we all die, and a very bad outcome where we end up as cattle. There's no outcome where we end up as peers - we can't be equal with something much smarter than us, that's just impossible.

- dostick 1y agoAny scenario with uploading mind is basically your death and copy of your mind (in best case scenarios) running on mainframe. Unless there is a technology allows to gradually replace neurons and brain structures with computing parts, thus not interrupting consciousness.
