Would you ever upload your consciousness?

Mind uploading, also known as whole brain emulation (WBE), is the hypothetical futuristic process of scanning a physical structure of the brain accurately enough to create an emulation of the mental state (including long-term memory and "self") and copying it to a computer in a digital form. I believe they need your brain 🧠 for this, so far someone volunteered to do that in a certain point in the future. Then we’ll know more.

Interesting as that sounds, I don’t think I’d let myself be put to death to try it.

Current Computing would need a lot more horsepower to pull off any sort of brain emulation

But it’s probably part of a post biological future

@ButterRobot I wonder what interacting with AI would be like, directly with your consciousness.

I wonder. And the consequences for your soul @RedRogue

@ButterRobot yeah it’d definitely would be interesting in the unpredictable ways it could happen.
