Billions of people worldwide agreed to commit suicide thinking they are going to personally experience a virtual world.

Horrifying.

Would you upload?

No, think how amazing everything would be with all those retards gone. A virtual world is fake and gay too. Its like porn: the real thing is better. It wouldnt be you either, which is a ship of theseus question to a degree but my brain and soul is me, if you kill that even if a computer could replicate me.perfectly, that wouldnt be me. It would be like an AI version of me.

that's the future I'm betting on. matrix-like vr is inevitable at this point. retards will all get in the pods and leave the world to the "luddites". absolute bliss

Assuming I start replacing neurons bit by bit with artificial neurons (which behave in an identical manner) in your brain, at what point do you stop existing?

The possibilities and implications of this question scare midwits like you to an insane degree

We must not fuck this up. How do we encourage them to do it?

Have you watched the show? A surgical laser scans and completely destroys the brain causing the physical body to die. Then a computer simulation based on the data scanned from the brain is uploaded to the cloud thinking it's the original person.

>no need to eat, sleep, piss, shit, shower, or a variety of other worthless time-wasting bullshit activities that feel like a divine punishment from God
Yes, of course I'd upload.

I'll be raping and cumming inside the machines that hosts these faggots memories

Lmfao pseud, maybe think for more than two seconds. If you can replace the physical with the digital, then the physical doesn't matter. Hence the question, at what point do you say the person is dead?
Functionally there's no difference between replacing a brain bit by bit and then transferring it to the digital world, vs just scanning and uploading it
>>
>>108508554
>at what point do you stop existing?
When you no longer have redundancies. It's a slow suicide
>>
>>108509051
Define redundancies retard, and why not having them means you stop existing
>>
>>108509074
>Define redundancies
There isn't a single neuron for each piece of information, because we have redundancy. Our brain can withstand a certain degree of damage
>>
>>108509107
Who says a simulation or digital copy will remove the redundancies? Try again, better luck next time
