Worse scenario. Imagine being successfully uploaded to a computer or private server, but you don't get any simulation, any input at all. You only perceive the nothingness, you have your memories, your experiences, your own knowledge and your very own "existence"...but you are completely deprived from any sensory stimuli. You are only a fragment of consciousness in the void. You can process information faster than any human would but...you are trapped in the nothingness and every second feels like an eternity. You can "think" and imagine a whole life in just a couple of them. That's a far worse hell than a simulated torture, if you ask me. It basically involves descending into madness until someone decides to shut you down or terminate you.anima

While the notion of living forever in a simulation is entertaining and thought provoking, the fact that you are trading immortality for external control seems pointless, if all of society lived in a computer then there is no one to protect the computer the only true guarantee we have to survive as a species is to outlast inevitable odds, we will never do this if everyone jumps on one bandwagon, we must spread our species out into all notions of expansion, we must live in computers, robots, on other planets, and at the same time try to repair this one, it is the only true way to increase the odds of humans being a "forever species"

I was considering that. What is consciousness, self awareness? The AI personality would need an ego too. Somethings that make us who we are seem to be outside the brain, outside our being. I'm not crazy about these scientists playing God. Say you transfer your mind and being into a simulated reality. All is wonderful. Then some hacker gets into the simulated reality program and thinks it would be funny to turn it into hell. Regular life is great, even with its ups and downs. But some people have screwed up big time, and we have 20 year old men and women being sentenced to life in prison. Now imagine a horrific fascist government with the technology described in this video, with the ability to send the mind and consciousness to virtual prison for 10,000 years. Yeah baby, the brave new world, all who enter give up all hope. I believe I see government abusing technology and power already. Some years ago my young daughter was making mischief.

By that logic, this has already happened to you. 98 percent of your atoms get replaced each year. You are already a copy holding on to memories of a human body that no longer exists. You have died many times already. Probably the key is that we change gradually. If you instantly created a digital copy of yourself, would that carry your consciousness? Probably not. But if you gradually replaced the physical aspects of your body with digital ones - the same way our atoms get replaced all the time - then your consciousness would probably merge into the digital you.

To quote the Twelfth Doctor: "Being immortal isn't living forever. It means watching everyone else DIE."

[@suadfaraj5712]

I honestly thought that long before anyone else, the doctor gave us the answer.

[@არარსებული]

That applies to stories where only one person becomes immortal. The video describes technology that everyone would use. If the technology failed and everyone else died you would too.

[@biggiejeffrey]

@@არარსებული But that's just it: not everyone will be able to afford to live forever, and some will just refuse it because of personal reasons. Therefore, a lot of people aren't going to be living forever. So why would you want to if someone you love can't or won't be able to live forever?

[@არარსებული]

@@biggiejeffrey Well definitely no one should be forced to be immortal if they'd just be lonely the whole time. I think it would just be up to the individual, if you lived a million years and got bored suicide is always an option. That aside though, I think in a future with this sci-fi level of tech, the money paradigm may have also changed such that scooping up every consciousness on Earth into the matrix isn't limited by people's bank accounts.

[@biggiejeffrey]

@Alexander Diaz What if they don't want to? What about personal choice & free will? (this was the problem with the Cybermen in the first place, remember?)

[@enlightenedsoul8897]

I think the concept of uploading your brain to a computer and gaining all the knowledge from the Internet is an amazing idea. You would excel as an individual dramatically and with this knowledge you could gain even more information because you would know how, and you could excel too have the mind way beyond any living genius but it is very easy to exploit if put in the wrong hands

I would love it if you made a video about why when you smell something, it brings back certain memories

[@patrickwilson7378]

That needs explaining to you???

[@giovannidemarinis1345]

Yes, why does your brain do that? What makes it meaningful, questions like that.

[@patrickwilson7378]

Well, it's because your senses are all interconnected to your mind, which is somewhat of a whole body thing. It has to do with memories. Even people who have lost a leg or arm often feel it is still there. Almost as if the "spirit" of the lost limb remains. It's the same with smells, sounds, feelings, etc. It's not always just your brain that remembers but the body as a "whole". Some people have memories and/or remember things from their past lives or can connect to those former lifetimes through hypnosis, experience during meditation, astral body experiences, etc. And it really doesn't matter if you believe in reincarnation or not. It's is a fact of being and will be scientifically proven fairly soon. There is, and has been research ongoing into reincarnation for some time now. Especially at the University of Virginia with very young children who recall past lives or can speak other languages from past lives even before they can read or write, as well as recall places they've lived before with prefect accuracy or recall historical people or things they haven't yet been exposed to. Check it out.

"Summit is the fastest computer on the planet, Fugaku is 3 times faster"

[@RC-nq7mg]

Interesting thing about super computers is that they cannot be measured equally, not can a comparison of a certain number of consumer computers be compared to a super computer. These numbers are usually compared using the systems FLOPs rating (floating point operations per second). Super computers are very specialized architecture designed for very specialized tasks. An x86 or RISC based CPU will handle general tasks more efficiently than a super computer. Not saying a super computer wouldn't be able to do it, they could with flying colours, but they would do it so much less efficiently than a system with a large instruction set. Its raw mathematical computation where they shine, not complex operations.

[@iamalone8093]

I’m seeing a lot of jokes about adds and power failure, but I think a lot of people are ignoring a truly horrific possibility around the idea of a digital copy. Imagine a world where you are told that you can upload yourself to a digital world. Maybe you even have a friend who transitioned to being digital a little while ago. You decide that sounds amazing, so you decide to upload yourself. You arrange all the paperwork and pay for the procedure. The doctors tell you that they will knock you out, and when you wake, you will be digital. You wake up. You are still in the room you were knocked out in. You demand to know why the doctors have not done what they promised. They tell you the procedure is complete. “Is this the digital world?” You ask. “No, this is the real world.” They tell you. “Then why am I still here?!” You demand. What they tell you next horrifies you. “You are the leftovers.”

Well actually yes. Just because there are two instances of you does not mean you haven't uploaded your mind.

[@estranhokonsta]

@@xitcix8360 Are those two instances the same? What is an instance of conscience? What is even a correct definition of consciousness in scientific terms, not those general and nebulous ones that suffices in everyday life use for normal people? Nobody knows what it is really and how it appears in the brain. The so called mind upload is the projection of the neurons functionality and network into some kind of software or at least the upload of the very little of what we think those are. A photo is also a projection of your appearance into a paper, is it the same as what your eyes see? tldr: Theory is not reality.

[@xitcix8360]

@wiktorpolak That's untrue.

[@xitcix8360]

​@@estranhokonsta Yes those two instances are the same. Consciousness is merely an illusion, you are a collection of memories and protocols that give you the idea of free will. You do not have free will. The mind upload would most likely be an advanced 3d scan of the brain, we would not need to understand it fully. A photo is only projecting appearance on a timeless 2-dimensional plane, but the scan would project into a 3-dimensional space with time. Theory is reality a lot of the time.
