    Pretty optimistic to think we’ll be able to upload and downloaded consciousness in the next 25 years.

    If even possible, it’d be centuries. Chances are everyone alive today will go the same route as every other human who has ever lived.

          I suppose to some extent, what is it to download consciousness? An LLM trained off someone would be like a pretty shit version of that.

            I’m actually surprised no tech bro tried that.

            going to die? give an AI company access to all your data, emails, conversations, photos… so when you die they can keep a llm fine tuned to sound like you and be your digital ghost people can talk to. then if they get attached, jack up prices for grieving people.

              Yep, it isn’t real. But “download your consciousness” is never going to be real.

                We’re probably a few decades away of fully mapping a human brain, this will likely be the next human genome like trillion dollar project. but from that to simulate it and run it? probably another couple decades

                  By not real I mean you aren’t living in the computer. The meatsack is dead, what ever simulation running on a computer is just a simulation. It’s “feelings” don’t matter.
