Surprise Giraffe posted:Still dont know why youd copy the brain at a molecular level instead of trying to suspend aging/repair damage in the short term. Maybe not quite immortality but from the perspective of the repaired that would probs be fine Because that way doesn't allow lonely friendless computer nerds to reimagine their worthless lives as cyber-Jesuses acting as prophets heralding the birth of the all-powerful machine God. Most human problems are ultimately caused by humanity, and robots won't do a thing to change that.

Humans cause all these problems, and we can work toward fixing them. Just because we won't see a deathless machine-driven utopian society does not mean we shouldn't each work toward it in our own tiny way, either by shitposting about it on a forum or studying robots or trying to make our political climate ready for the inevitable (and, as a bi-product, not killing ourselves off before the inevitable happens or regressing to feudalism)

Huzanko posted:I wonder if you could break the Ship of Theseus if you slowly swapped out pieces of your brain for cybernetic SSDs or whatever whenever that's possible, so that your consciousness can migrate and expand into the electronic brain slowly. Just have to work out that pesky problem of where your consciousness actually lives in the brain. I've long thought that, of all known theories on what defines "you" the "continuity of consciousness" one made the most logical sense.Though it's also the most limiting in terms of pursuing immortality.

A big flaming stink posted:sorry, friend, but this is the closest you're ever going to get to becoming a machine consciousness: Interestingly you can't copy something like the human brain, not in any appreciable way anyway. The human brain contains too many small parts, and there are even biological processes that rely on odd quantum effects. However, it is possible to transfer all the states of a thing to something else, via quantum teleportation but doing this destroys the original. Something like that could be a method of 'transferring consciousness' in a not so messy way. Here's a handy video explaining teleportation that's accessible to the people who post here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DxQK1WDYI_k

People don't seem to be concerned with having backdoors and other faults built into things such as the neural lace. Consider that that NSA and CIA both have backdoors and workarounds built into hardware and software in nearly all computers and operating systems. Will you give them direct access to your brain? Not to mention all the vulnerabilities that hackers will eventually find.
