"I want to live forever in AI"
This prospect doesnt bother me in the least. I've already been replaced 5 times in my life so far. The soul is a spook. Let my clone smother me in my sleep and deal with the IRS instead.
Makes me wonder how many times I've been replaced. Also makes me wonder if I just died yesterday and today I'm actually a new person. I have no evidence that yesterday happened except for a memory of it, and let's face it, since it was a public holiday, that's a pretty foggy memory
I wonder about that. During the deepest part of sleep does your brain have enough activity to maintain a continuous stream of consciousness? If you go through two sleep cycles in a night does yesterday you die, and you from the first sleep cycle who only dreamed die, and you're a new consciousness in the morning?
Dreaming is just the brain butchering who you were and placing whatever's left in storage as decaying trophies.
yeah, went down this rabbit hole recently: what if I'm the .001% that lives until ? or what if 'me' is an amalgam of all the ones that die, and I get to live all those lives until the variable runs out.
