Plus self-inflicted struggles like:

  • self-diagnosed ADHD
  • self-diagnosed autism spectrum
  • non-binary gender so every wc in the world is kind of awkward

No. Archival means copying, destructive archival means copying and destroying the original. If the copy was as smart as you, it would know the original you was left in meatspace. It would be stupid to claim the copy is you but in a different individual, not different than wishful thinking.

The copy would be based on you, but from its startup it would become a different individual, as your experiences diverge.

If the upload was me, it would know it’s a clone, not me, but he’d also know he’s his own person from now own.

Perfect opportunity to change name, or adopt a suffix in case more copies are made.

What I loved is that both knew what needed to be done next because he planned it before being copied.

Spoiler: if you have thought your share about mind digitalization, SOMA has a very predictable game plot. It’s a good game, but not as intriguing as, say, the Talos principle.

One significant red flag is that GPUs that were selling like hot cakes because crypto are now selling like hot cakes because AI. It leads to a proliferation of gold diggers buying pickaxes instead of a refinement and optimization of the underlying technology.

Paraphrasing Aldous Huxley, “the next tech bubble must need at least as much GPUs as the last”.

It’s fine, it’s a really long test.

The meme is about the journey to acquire wisdom, not intelligence. It fits IMO, despite representing the lack of wisdom as low intelligence.

Might as well go all in and call the Gulf of California “Armpit of Canada”.
