What is wrong with this logic? Captain Kirk willingly steps into the transporter to have his atoms turned into energy because he knows an identical copy will be reassembled on the surface of the planet below. Would he be so willing if the original was left behind?
This is a case of logic conflicting with instinct. You can only transfer consciousness if you kill the original. You can do it neuron by neuron, or all at once. Either way, the original won't notice, will it? Isn't this funny? Our instinct for self preservation causes us to build a friendly AGI that annhialates the human race, because that's what we want. --- Alan Grimes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Papiewski, John wrote: > > Youâre not misunderstanding and it is horrible. > > > > The only way to do it is to gradually replace your brain cells with an > > artificial substitute. > > > > Youâd be barely aware that something is going on, and there wouldnât > be > > two copies of you to be confused over. > > Good start. =) > > But be careful when claiming that anything is the *only* way to do > anything... > > Okay, go one step further.
