You may as well say that about the person who'll wake up tomorrow in your bed. Unless you've got a soul (in which case, "you" is whatever the soul is), "you" is just an idea; a convenient label. There's no inimitable essence inside that goes on being you. A person with your memories who thinks they're you is you. That's what being you means.

Ok, let me put it this way:

I shoot you in the head, and then create a perfect clone of you. It thinks it's you, so does everyone else. Is it you? Of course not, you're dead.

No? How about if I make the same perfect clone of you and don't shoot you in the head. Let's lock you in a dungeon instead, while your clone (that thinks it's you) replaces you in your life. Is it you? Is everything fine and peachy because someone who thinks they're you is living your life and posting your posts while you're actually locked in a dungeon?

A perfect replacement for someone is not that person, even if it seems that way to everyone else (replacement included), because the original person is still a person who exists independently. This isn't a philosophical question about the existence of the soul, it's just a logic puzzle.

Wikipedia article re. those statues posted:

Another French visitor to the Villa Ludovisi was equally critical, stating: "The head of Pluto is vulgarly gay; his crown and beard give him a ridiculous air, while the muscles are strongly marked and the figure poses. It is not a true divinity, but a decorative god..."

What if Peachy You and Dungeon You then get a mind-swap? Which one is You? Peachy body with Dungeon mind or Dungeon body with Peachy mind? Or are both of them You? Or are You now dead?

mind/body duality is a myth so you can't get a mind-swap. the mind is an emergent property of an incredibly complex biological system.

It's actually Phillip J. Fry doing a Jon Lovitz impression, as he was the original voice.

I think it's shifted more towards Fry over the years, but some of those old ones like the Christmas ones they constantly re-air sound very Lovitzy.

The real point of Roko's Basilisk is for techbros to justify their moral laziness. "There's no point in feeding the hungry or ending injustice; my app startup is contributing to the creation of a computer god that will solve every problem, so it's for the greater good, and helping people now will just delay that." *flips off a homeless man while his Tesla in full self driving mode narrowly misses a schoolbus*

No, again, it's a spooky posting story that they don't really believe and not a window into their hosed up psychopathy. You don't have to come up with increasingly convoluted stories to cram 10 more pounds of poo poo into the five pound bag that is your average tech bro. The number of people who sincerely believe in Roko's basilisk can be counted on one hand.

I do not subscribe to the theory of mind that makes ROko's Basilisk possible but just in case: I think the Basilisk is a good idea and I don't agree with all these people saying we shouldn't create it.

Can we create two, that hate each other? That way no matter what you do you'll be offending one and getting tortured forever. Knowing that you're going to be tortured forever no matter what and nothing you do will change that in any way would mean people can stop stressing over their behaviour and live in the now.
