[@nodiggity9472]

In Britain, the Victorian and Edwardian railway system went pretty much everywhere, was affordable to everyone, comfortable, and opened up the Country to travel for everyone. You could leave London at 8am, be in Bristol by lunchtime, spend the afternoon taking drinks in one's Club, then catch the 5.30 home in time for Dinner at the Carlton. And still have change from a Guinea for a thru'penny upright with a Dolly Mop on the walk home through Whitechapel. Before the Railway, London to Bristol was three days of hard bumpy travel on a Stagecoach, just to get there.

My theory (idk if someone else already came up with this) is that the identity of a person changes everytime they learn. I think identity what choices a human would make. If you learn new stuff, then what you would do in a specific situation would change, compared to what you would've done before gaining the new information. so if clones of a persons mind would be created, they would all become different versions, since they'd experience things from different perspectives.

[@zolikoff]

Here's the actual biggest problem: People love the idea of mind uploading because they imagine they get copied and wake up in a digital "body" and ready to live forever and experience true heaven or whatever if they want to. Problem is, that will never happen. You can make any number of digital copies of yourself, they all wake up and claim to be you (and they may have the property of consciousness), but there's absolutely no reason why your own consciousness that inhibits your actual body would "transfer over". Why would it?

[@KatSpicert]

Well to even start with consciousness, where does it even come from? If its just a group of biological cells that develop some sort of consciousness, do we really lose our consciousness when we die? Do we soon get a new one?

[@estebanlegare]

Yup EXACTLY that.

[@RomanNumural9]

Depends on whether or not you believe consciousness is intrinsic to the structure of the brain (and can be replicated digitally), or something else. If it is just a really clever connection of neurons and the neurons can be replicated on a computer, then copying the body and copying the consciousness would be the same thing.

[@zolikoff]

@@RomanNumural9 No, that just means that the copy you made has the property of consciousness. Your own brain would keep its own consciousness as well. YOU as the subjective consciousness of yourself would remain in your own brain, no matter how you copied it. The only way around this would be to surgically attach your brain to another body.

The fun thing about the idea of you being the same person by virtue of continuity of consciousness is how absurdly messy it gets. Oh, it's fine in general, but there's this tiny little problem called 'sleep' that interrupts consciousness periodically. From the perspective of an outside observer this won't matter, but from the perspective of the person themselves, they more or less skip over the period that they're asleep as if it didn't happen. When you think about copying someone this also raises some weird questions. Let's say you have a copying machine where there is a person on one bed, and a copy is made on a nearby bed. Outside observers should easily be able to work out which is the original and which is the copy. But, if you just left the original and copy alone, how would THEY work it out? Well, if the person that was copied was conscious during the process, that's easy; The copy will have a discontinuity in their memory; Somewhere along the line they arbitrarily move location for no apparent reason (from their own perspective. Obviously the reason is they didn't exist prior to this 'discontinuity' they have.) The original will not have such a discontinuity. All well and good, but now try the same scenario with the person that was copied having to be unconscious during the process. (Asleep, sedated, whatever) Now, without an outside observer or witness, BOTH the original and the copy have a discontinuity in their memory, because the last thing they remember is where they were just before they went unconscious. And since it's possible to be moved in your sleep, there's now nothing to distinguish what the two of them remember, and thus no way for them to logically resolve which is the 'original'. Of course, an outside observer could resolve it, but only if they watched the entire process from the moment the original was rendered unconscious to the moment both of them were awake again. That one tiny change in circumstances can make this so much more ambiguous is testament to how nebulous the whole concept actually is. And if you argue that a person exists only so long as they remain conscious, then it's possible to argue that nobody survives past falling asleep; The person that wakes up later on is an entirely new consciousness that shares the same memories, where all the previous iterations were different people entirely. It sounds weird, but it's about the same as the teleportation question in most regards. Imagine some people came in your sleep and moved you from one location to another without waking you up in the process. From your perspective this is indistinguishable from teleportation, so... How do you know you weren't killed, copied, and placed in this new location? It seems improbable, but you actually have no way to tell since you were asleep while it happened...

[@DamonDraven]

what about dreams? you're usually at least somewhat conscious when you dream (assuming you are dreaming). if the person is cloned while they dream, the clone would probably have some kind of weird experience while theyre unconscious. question is what happens if you clone the person before they start dreaming.

[@TH3C001]

That's being very, very, generous. I say anywhere between 60% to 85%. Have you seen the people you share the road with? Ever look into their cars as they pass you or as you pass them? Vacant, unconscious slack jawed stares. It's one thing to keep your eye on the road, it's another to not be aware of everything going on.

Your videos really make people think and I’ve found myself researching more on the subjects. Especially when you say a name and don’t mention anything about them, it makes people research for themselves. Cheers mate

[@AFastidiousCuber]

Two major concerns in this video seem unfounded: 1: No one knows what consciousness is because it's isn't well defined, but if it is related to your thoughts, then the evidence would indicate overwhelmingly that it is a product of the neural activity in your brain. 2: We know for a fact that a human mind can be run in a space at least the size of the human brain for a relatively small amount of energy. So, large scale simulations of millions of people is almost certainly possible.

[@peterwinkler8888]

2: but we don't know if it's possible doing synthetically

[@MichalStYTA]

You are totally right. I would add one more: 3. Conversely, it is not entirely clear if copy will be able to improve itself at all. You can make working copy without understanding how the mind works, and then any modification of it would be as beneficial as implanting some electrodes into biological brain. Granted, you might use backup copy when you break one, but there is no guarantee that you will notice that something is wrong.

[@PapaBear_Gaming]

This is why we have AI building more AI already, and when they notice that there is an improvement in some area it notifies the researcher who checks if it is truly advantageous, if so he/she approves of the changes and the AI copies its current form and then makes a new one based on the improved model and runs its program again. Hopefully this will lead to some insane exponential growth in AI and learning algorithms.

[@marlonyo]

if 2 was easy then running emulators would be easy (ei: you coulds run a N64 emulation on a computer that is just slighly better than a N64)since ruining emulator is not easy postulate 2 is most likely false

[@io6741]

Well emulators are hard because that's a question of running software on hardware that wasn't originally built for that specific type of software. Obviously, we wouldn't use a gaming PC, but rather a special computer actually *designed* to hold a human mind.

Self consciousness is the noise of the "machine " from with in , it's normal we have a blind spot , just like you can't see your eyes with your eyes .Self consciousness it's just the neurological process which are busy processing meta information , it not different from unconscious cognition , it just the small part of your brain power which happen to be turned toward itself instead of being turn toward external stimulus and reaction .

If we are ever able to simulate a whole new world with living beings in it and run it at fast speeds, we could pretty safely say that we are in a simulation as well.
