One intriguing thing that isn't talked about is would an uploaded mind have a perfect memory. Our memory as it is isn't very reliable seeing as how everytime we access a memory, it changes a little bit. Hundreds of recalls later, it could look nothing like what actually happened. A digital mind could have access to recordings of events they experienced and essentially store them as read-only.
This is a viable possibility, but we have no way to know for sure yet what exactly happens when a memory is accessed, we do know it's somewhat similar to a set of different neurons activating like for example 1324 neuron 1goes, then 3, so on and so forth. It's possible the slow corruption of our memories is due to these neuron sets changing slightly. For example, 1324 becomes 1234. If this is the way memories do work (which I am not claiming it is) then it would be possible to keep the original neuron set in data storage, also worth noting is we have no idea how large of a file a memory turned into a file would be. Just a regular brain scan, like the one described in the video, would likely result in a conscious without their previous memories, as you can map out everything in the brain, but you can't necessarily scan every memory in the brain at once without remembering everything in that person's life at once (which would likely be impossible)
That wouldn't be fun, the more you remember from past experience the less you enjoy the present, maybe it's just me but I would like to emulate how memory gets hazy over the time.
i think quite the opposite would happen. if we have far better learning capabilities due to this mind upload, we'd lose memories every time we access them. memory loss or change is actually the brain "learning", so we'd somehow have to index exactly which neural networks are responsible for memories and mark them as read-only, which in and of itself sounds pretty impossible. since everyone's brain is so wildly different, this is pretty impossible.

One of the other implications of a mind upload is the notion that you aren't really limited to a single copy. Which, as has been explored in the book series "we are bob", you could feasibly make a functional von neumann probe, or a "single" person running an entire business or industry of some kind merely by making multiple copies of themselves and a lot of other weirdness.
@@BlueRidgeBubble The "We are Legion, We are Bob" is a a serious recommend from me then, it's basically about that specifically, plus is filled with snarky nerd humor and very good hard scifi.

@Witaminka B12 Meh, only on consoles. On PC I'm having an amazing time with the game. Consoles will get patched overtime and by March the game will be great. Everyone's losing their shit because of bugs but forget that games like The Witcher 3, Skyrim, Fallout, Red Dead Redemption, Dragon Age, and more had hilarious bugs at launch too.
@@Messi-rw9ng "At launch". Bro they even made a 64 bit version of Skyrim with the same old bugs lmao. And people praise New Vegas and it's riddled with bugs too. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ You couldn't even get playable frame rates in The Witcher with a 1070ti. Now I can play that thing on medium-high with a 1050 and get decent frames.
@Witaminka B12 the game is good it's your own fault for putting to such a high standard that literally nothing could live up to it. Remember when skyrim and fallout 4 came out that shit was almost unplayable, but nobody said anything and gradually all those problems got fixed and people got better specs.
I know you’re doing a meme, but you’re highlighting one of the moral problems of mind uploading. How do we guarantee that mind uploading won’t be used to our detriment rather than our advantage?
An AI is the biblical beast. It's already alive as an infant. Your phone is a low bandwidth brain-computer interface that spys on you and tries to take your attention and spread misinformation.
There's a shortstory by Stanislav Lem from his "Ijon Tichy" series, where Ijon is visited by a person that has invented immortality. This guy, named Decantor, explains that after decades of studying, he has finally managed to create a way to transfer a human conciousness onto a thumbdrive-like device, that will contain that soul forever. As the story progresses, we learn that he used the method on his wife, however since the space on the device is limited, it doesn't allow communication with the outside world, the mind is basically suspended alone in a giant void. _Forever._ Ijon is then so disgusted and horrified, that he offers all his belongings to obtain that device to smash it, so the woman can be released from her horrific jail. He eventually persuades Decantor to see how terrible his creation is and they destroy the device together.

@@Cozysafeyay You are someone you are, right? Can you stay 'you' outside this body? That's what is referred to as consciousness. It's the curiosity. What's wrong about it?
@@orangestapler8729 played it and its not that buggy and honestly if u like RPG games u will love this one. For me its ne of the best RGP i have played BUT you need next gen consoles OR a decent PC to run it, On old consoles its runs like a potato with bad graphics and crashes
@@erikkling4791 well, i bought it today and had a blast playing on GeForce Now on my old laptop, but you need pretty strong and reliable connection for that
that is, to be aware/have consciousness like a God "I am who is” also animals and all of organisms have it but very limited based on instincts over which man is able to control so you can choose, god through consciousness charges the whole world like the internet
My take on the whole mind-upload thing is that of the ship of Theseus, if you take your mind and make a digital upload of it, that's not the same you. But if you slowly replace parts of your mind over time, say getting implants and robotic additions, then you'll be up there and live forever. As long as brain activity keeps going, you're still alive. So even if I'm under sedatives as my brain is slowly replaced, I still count it as alive
THIS ^, that's it basically you can augment yourself and live forever but uploading your mind would mean creating a new you that's not you. Hell its like literally cloning yourself.
@@vyrkolach5546 To be fair, if you take the brain slicing approach you'll already be dead by the time your AI self is created. At that point, to the AI at least, it would feel like they'd gone to sleep for an amount of time, and then woken up. Assuming there's nothing metaphysical to conciousness, such as a soul, what makes us who we are is essentially the data stored on the brain. That data is us, no matter where it's stored. Even if the biological body, and AI copy exist at the same time, the AI is still you, as the data is the same. It's just a different you, who's experience branches off from yours and thus it becomes a separate being. If it never branches off, and only one remains at any given time, then you are effectively the same being.
The world ended at 2000 because all the computers corrupted and created black holes that sucked the universe in. It sucked everyone into an alternate universe that is the exact same, except the world hasn't ended and nobody remembers it did.
@@VerycoolEsso the joke is that the game "Cyberpunk 2077" has gotten delayed numerous times, showcasing that they were not good at predicting what time in the future they would be ready to release the game.
depends, look at the rate of technological ascension, 6,000 years ago we were playing with death, 1,000 years ago we conquered and killed across the globe, 300 years ago we discovered two more continents, 200 years ago we discovered the last, 100 years ago modern machines were spread only in certain parts of the world, 80 years ago we discovered a quick way to destroy mankind, 60 years ago we landed on another celestial body, 50 years ago we made portable digital setups, and personal computers, 30 years ago we traveled across Mars and made allowed people from every corner of the world to communicate, 20 years ago we minimized,even more, 10 years ago we broke through into the world of DNA sequencing and telescope technologies that allow us to see lightyears of our surroundings. Now? We're using gene editing on a vast scale, even in human trials, Artificial Intelligence now able to spot cancers in the body, we're creating reusable shuttles and spacecraft, advancing into treating brain cancers, and spotting meteorological events months, years, hell even decades or centuries before they are fated to happen.
One thing I've always wondered is if it would be me if my brain were transferred to something else. Like they've mapped out my brain, my personality is there, my memory is there, but is it more or a copy of me? In the sense, we experience our lives in a continuous stream ie we experience a consistent passage of time. Would we then continue on that stream when we transfer, or would it be a clone? To everyone else in your life it'd be like you're still there, but it's more like a clone, while the you that is you faded to black and died. How would anyone know? If I recall, they deal with this in the show/comic Invincible when the Robot transfers his mind into a new body, he experiences the same fear I just talked about. It's creepy but interesting.
Is it an ad? If so, this is not at all how it should be. Not once do they make mention of sponsorship or any exchange of money, so it's super illegal if it is sponsored. That being said, I'm pretty sure it just isn't sponsored.
The question is... if you upload a copy of your brain to a computer... is that you? Or a copy of you with your memories? If the computer lives on and you don't, won't that computer be experiencing new memories while you are simply gone? I would argue a better, and arguably more technologically feasible way of living on in your mind without copying and killing yourself is to transplant the actual brain itself into a construct compatible with a digital interface. You can't argue it's not you if it's your actual brain, not a digital copy.
What are you, other than your memories and experiences? A perfect copy of you with all your memories and emotions and experiences is still *a* you. Until the moment it gains a new experience or memory, which would be almost instantaneously. In which case it would be a different you, but still started as you. The issue with hooking our brains up to a neural interface like that is that our brains would still decay, and eventually there would still be death from it.
Wouldn't it defeat the purpose though? You're only gonna live as long as the set lifespan of your neurones right? And you have to keep feeding in the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the brain
To be honest I think there might just be no "you" at all. We are just a very complex set of cells, there's just no "you", we only act as if there was. If there's a copy of you created, it is as much you, as you are, because there's nothing unique about us, our consiousness and everything is just an illusion in a way. It's hard to imagine TBH.
Its bc its been extensively rewritten and condensed by the channel's crew, not just the voice of Kurzgesagt. Theyre also leaving out so much more information on the topic
@@billkastanis1576 Care to give any argument? I recommend reading Wittgenstein's Remarks on Psychology and Ryle's Concept of Mind. Most philosophy post those two is an aberration. People are not brains in the same way that people are not arms. People have brains and have arms. It is really quite obvious. Try to recognise the behavioural criteria for ascribing psychological attributes such as thinking. Then realise that brains do not exhibit any behavioural criteria, but rather people do. You know this because this is how you operate linguistically every day.
@@its9001 material is all over the internet. I am speaking through my medical teachere perspective that i found to be right. You are entitled to your own opinion. Have a goos day not gonna argue
Here’s my opinion in a nutshell: If you transfer your mind to the digital world it whould’t be you, it whould just be a copy of yourself with the same memories, the digital yourself will remember your life as his own and think he is you. But he isn’t he is just a mere copy.
Jokes aside, that might be the case. Uploading our minds onto a computer or a synthetic body could mean that we just committed suicide and an imperfect copy of us now exists in our stead.
@@neobg9493 How would we know? Even if we did it the person who was digitalized would now be a copy and not the original consciousness but still have the same memories and remembers being digitalized and will insist it worked and he didn't die but really the original consciousness is dead. Hope you understood what I meant.
It bugs me to see the quote without the parallelism that made it quotable. "If the human brain were so simple that we could understand it, we would be so simple that we couldn't." --Emerson Pugh
isnt this ironically why we cant understand it in the first place? seems like an infinite loop to me, no matter how simple or complex it is, this will always apply
@@rangel5897 It always applies only if the assertion is actually true. Minus biological/evolutionary constraints like skull size and energy requirements, there's no reason additional brain power requires a corresponding increase in complexity. Also, "understand" is a sufficiently nebulous word that there _might_ be an overlap between what a single person can learn and retain, and an overview of the brain's workings sufficiently detailed to count as "understanding".
11:39 “Adventurers could upload themselves into small spaceships and embark on journeys to the stars” You guys really know how to give me chills, that’s one of the most epic and awesome concepts I’ve ever heard
Except as the universe keeps on expanding the traveller would never reach any other galaxy and would most likely be stuck in a void for an eternity. Unless they like figure how to travel faster than light which in the world of mind upload might be a thing.
@@cobbington773 I would even recommend listening to the audiobooks. I typically enjoy physical to audio, but they were amazing audiobooks, and I actually prefer them in that format. Highly recommended.
@@liljam3824 It's not that much different than visiting our nearest planets- just much further. Rather than heading for where you see it, observe it's path, calculate distance and head for where it will be when travel time and speed of light is considered. You don't need to be able to go FTL. It's not impossible, it's just a lot of math. The harder part is dealing with the things you can't observe.
This might actually explain the Fermi Paradox. Before a civilisation becomes space-faring, they learn to upload their consciousnesses and then exist in a non-physical form that we wouldn't see no matter how much we scan the skies.
Also I kind of wanna be fact checked about something if it’s alright to ask. It’s a little unrelated, but you know how when we see planets from a telescope or something, we’re seeing them as they were millions or billions of years ago? Do you think that could somewhat explain the Fermi Paradox too? We can’t find life because when we observe planets, we observe a version of them billions of years before they even developed life. I don’t wanna draw any conclusions though so I kind of wanna be fact checked lol
Yeah, it kind of sucks that Cyberpunk is going to be the mainly discussed game about this topic but SOMA by far has delved the deepest into this subject.
Too bad they take a long time, and they waste a lot of it doing advertisement for horrible companies. I'm disappointed by this video. I much rather have videos with more humble animation, better ideas, and faster production. This is a big step backwards for them.
@Seb0231 fast does not equal cheap. And this video is not as deep, nor as well researched, nor has as captivating ideas. It more likely molds itself around cyberpunk's theme (the videogame they advertise).
When I first watched this video I didn't think too much of the "copy problem", but now after getting more interested in immortality I revisited the video. Some people think that mind uploading will upload the actual you and not a copy. Beyond helping us understand the brain more I don't think this is worth pursuing. The only way to extend consciousness beyond the brain would be to slowly replace it with mechanical counterparts. Thankfully a lot of people in the comments realize that the upload will just be a copy of you and Kurzgesagt mentioned it multiple times.
There's certainly some sci-fi that explores that possibility. For instance: imagine a criminal cartel makes a copy of you and then uses it for illegal acts under threat of torture.
@@algeriedelest1092 that's a good thought experiment imagine if it takes your internet accounts to do its own thing, or helps you like JARVIS from iron man
Kurzgesagt is the embodiment of “explain it to me like I’m five” and they do it so well. Case in point: they managed to condense the lengthy topic of uploading a consciousness into a computer/what is consciousness/what is the brain/how to be functionally immortal into one 15-minute video, _and it made sense._ There’s a reason we’re all subscribed
I'd like to have a bionic eye which records everything. When I'm older I can type in certain dates and use my VR head set to relive those moments. When I die I can pass on my life recordings to my siblings
ONE THING WE DO KNOW, consciousness is not material, or generated by the brain. any1 debate me. can your atoms, which make up your brain create emotions, subjective conscious experience, memories? no they cannot. consciousness is beyond physical, hence metaphysical spirit/soul/consciousness/mind whatever you want to call it dame thing, NOT THE PHYSICAL BRAIN. YEAAAAHH YEAAHHHHH.(mayweather voice).
@Blankyt Flying cars already exist. They are called aircrafts and spacecrafts, you could even throw hot air balloons and zeppelins in the mix if they aren't already considered aircrafts.
@Benjamin Maiorella My point is 'flying cars' exist already. It seems that what was envisioned in the past rarely turns out into what actually comes to fruition. Like I said before, the flying car turned out to be aircrafts, a helicopter for example. And I'm sure there are a few private aircrafts flying around, private jets for example. In response to making it mainstream, you've got a point, we don't have the infrastructure yet to have a load of flying objects around, or we just aren't invested because like you said there is no real need yet. Just to add from a previous point, In the past they said robots would take over, I believe that's already happened, but not in the way they imagined. The robots are called smartphones, smart tv's, PCs, etc basically modern digital technology, and with AI improving, they'll be even more powerful. So, it wasn't evil humanoid robots.
Although this is Cyberpunk related I think the game Soma actually tackled this subject the best because it raises the question on if it's worth trying to extend your life digitally if you know that you personally won't experience it, that it's just your copy moving ahead while you die? It's existential horror at its finest.
SOMA needs more exposure, it really is brilliant. Exploring copies of consciousness and snapshots of the mind at given points of time, including eternal existence in a Matrix-like utopia. Such great content in a really fun and creepy game.
I'm hoping that it becomes a move of data, and not a copy. Like on a computer, if you have data on one drive, you can choose to either copy it to another drive, or move it. Logically, it seems the only way to do that, would be to physically move the source of the data (our brain) into a synthetic body. I'm totally down for that. After its tested on a plethora of other humans, that is.
@@tyl3r43eight Fun fact, that thing you called "move" , as in to move data from one drive to other, is just the computer coping the file and then deleting the original. There is no "move" in programing, just copy, paste and delete.
@@a.m.6138 hmm, never really realized that. But I'd say the idea still stands. If you wanted to experience what this synthetic you was experiencing, they'd have to move your actual meat computer into a synthetic housing.
Can we just talk about how Kurzgesagt years ago looked so simple like a powerpoint presentation and now looks like a trailer to a futuristic sci fi movie?
I appreciate the recognition of the three assumptions. They really are important issues, but it’s good to move on for the sake of discussing the topic at hand.
Even if the upload would be successful the copy might not even be you. It would act and be exactly like you, but your actual consciousness would still be in your other brain.
@@PaineGainer I thought the goal was to upload your current consiousness to the system, and that the fact that it may not be you and you might still be in your body was a possible issue or drawback or even benefit in some cases. So if it was perfect, my current consiousness would be uploaded.
@@lordoa it wouldn't be you you, but you have no way of knowing whether you are the copy or the original until it happens. And there's a 50 percent chance you could be either.
Interminable psychotic breakdown/ infinite suffering sounds good, I like the idea that if this is possible it opens the door to suffering beyond all comprehension. The limits of suffering have merely been scratched by natural processes
it aint free tho, we pay in getting advertised to and relinquishing power to the owners of the platform at the expense of creators even tho they get paid a bit
The internet shutting down wouldn't impact someone living in a computer. It would be like shutting down the local highway, all it would do is slow / cut off your travel. I get that it's a joke, just wanted to point it out.

When a species elevates to a new level, morality of or for the old species doesn't matter anymore. We don't think about killing chickens or plants or insects as long as they feed us. Same will probably happen that OUR morality will become insignificant to the digital mind as it will rapidly gain intelligence because it won't have the biological limitations that we have. What I'm trying to say is, if what you say happens, our morality won't matter.

There's a shortstory by Stanislav Lem from his "Ijon Tichy" series, where Ijon is visited by a person that has invented immortality.
This guy, named Decantor, explains that after decades of studying, he has finally managed to create a way to transfer a human conciousness onto a thumbdrive-like device, that will contain that soul forever.
As the story progresses, we learn that he used the method on his wife, however since the space on the device is limited, it doesn't allow communication with the outside world, the mind is basically suspended alone in a giant void. _Forever._
Ijon is then so disgusted and horrified, that he offers all his belongings to obtain that device to smash it, so the woman can be released from her horrific jail.
He eventually persuades Decantor to see how terrible his creation is and they destroy the device together.

Welcome to science :3
My take on the whole mind-upload thing is that of the ship of Theseus, if you take your mind and make a digital upload of it, that's not the same you.
But if you slowly replace parts of your mind over time, say getting implants and robotic additions, then you'll be up there and live forever. As long as brain activity keeps going, you're still alive. So even if I'm under sedatives as my brain is slowly replaced, I still count it as alive
THIS ^, that's it basically you can augment yourself and live forever but uploading your mind would mean creating a new you that's not you. Hell its like literally cloning yourself.

@@vyrkolach5546 To be fair, if you take the brain slicing approach you'll already be dead by the time your AI self is created.
At that point, to the AI at least, it would feel like they'd gone to sleep for an amount of time, and then woken up.
Assuming there's nothing metaphysical to conciousness, such as a soul, what makes us who we are is essentially the data stored on the brain. That data is us, no matter where it's stored.
Even if the biological body, and AI copy exist at the same time, the AI is still you, as the data is the same. It's just a different you, who's experience branches off from yours and thus it becomes a separate being. If it never branches off, and only one remains at any given time, then you are effectively the same being.

Like they've mapped out my brain, my personality is there, my memory is there, but is it more or a copy of me? In the sense, we experience our lives in a continuous stream ie we experience a consistent passage of time. Would we then continue on that stream when we transfer, or would it be a clone? To everyone else in your life it'd be like you're still there, but it's more like a clone, while the you that is you faded to black and died. How would anyone know?
If I recall, they deal with this in the show/comic Invincible when the Robot transfers his mind into a new body, he experiences the same fear I just talked about. It's creepy but interesting.

The question is... if you upload a copy of your brain to a computer... is that you? Or a copy of you with your memories? If the computer lives on and you don't, won't that computer be experiencing new memories while you are simply gone?
I would argue a better, and arguably more technologically feasible way of living on in your mind without copying and killing yourself is to transplant the actual brain itself into a construct compatible with a digital interface.
You can't argue it's not you if it's your actual brain, not a digital copy.
Uploading your mind is not a cut and paste, it's a copy and paste. It's not you, just a copy of you.
What are you, other than your memories and experiences? A perfect copy of you with all your memories and emotions and experiences is still *a* you. Until the moment it gains a new experience or memory, which would be almost instantaneously. In which case it would be a different you, but still started as you.
The issue with hooking our brains up to a neural interface like that is that our brains would still decay, and eventually there would still be death from it.
Wouldn't it defeat the purpose though? You're only gonna live as long as the set lifespan of your neurones right? And you have to keep feeding in the necessary nutrients and oxygen to the brain
To be honest I think there might just be no "you" at all. We are just a very complex set of cells, there's just no "you", we only act as if there was. If there's a copy of you created, it is as much you, as you are, because there's nothing unique about us, our consiousness and everything is just an illusion in a way.
It's hard to imagine TBH.
This is why I always hated the Star Trek teleporters; you get destroyed and a perfect copy gets built somewhere else, it’s not actually you

@Blankyt Flying cars already exist. They are called aircrafts and spacecrafts, you could even throw hot air balloons and zeppelins in the mix if they aren't already considered aircrafts.
@Benjamin Maiorella My point is 'flying cars' exist already. It seems that what was envisioned in the past rarely turns out into what actually comes to fruition. Like I said before, the flying car turned out to be aircrafts, a helicopter for example. And I'm sure there are a few private aircrafts flying around, private jets for example. In response to making it mainstream, you've got a point, we don't have the infrastructure yet to have a load of flying objects around, or we just aren't invested because like you said there is no real need yet.
Just to add from a previous point, In the past they said robots would take over, I believe that's already happened, but not in the way they imagined. The robots are called smartphones, smart tv's, PCs, etc basically modern digital technology, and with AI improving, they'll be even more powerful. So, it wasn't evil humanoid robots.

Although this is Cyberpunk related I think the game Soma actually tackled this subject the best because it raises the question on if it's worth trying to extend your life digitally if you know that you personally won't experience it, that it's just your copy moving ahead while you die? It's existential horror at its finest.
Now I kinda wanna play ciberpunk god damnit
SOMA needs more exposure, it really is brilliant. Exploring copies of consciousness and snapshots of the mind at given points of time, including eternal existence in a Matrix-like utopia. Such great content in a really fun and creepy game.
I'm hoping that it becomes a move of data, and not a copy. Like on a computer, if you have data on one drive, you can choose to either copy it to another drive, or move it. Logically, it seems the only way to do that, would be to physically move the source of the data (our brain) into a synthetic body. I'm totally down for that. After its tested on a plethora of other humans, that is.
@@tyl3r43eight Fun fact, that thing you called "move" , as in to move data from one drive to other, is just the computer coping the file and then deleting the original. There is no "move" in programing, just copy, paste and delete.
@@a.m.6138 hmm, never really realized that. But I'd say the idea still stands. If you wanted to experience what this synthetic you was experiencing, they'd have to move your actual meat computer into a synthetic housing.
Gotta be one of my favorites of this channel
*can we take a moment to appreciate the fact that the animation is literally beautiful*
Of this video or cyberpunk
You could also just say it's beautiful, too
6:43 The next 15 seconds I found to be breathtaking, particularly the abstraction of the concepts themselves into an animated form.
@@GarrettX001 huh😂
That word was literally extraneous.
"well..."
HERE IT COMES
"its complicated"
I KNEW ITTT
Yes i knew it also
Yessir!
Can we just talk about how Kurzgesagt years ago looked so simple like a powerpoint presentation and now looks like a trailer to a futuristic sci fi movie?
And the sound design is really good too
I appreciate the recognition of the three assumptions. They really are important issues, but it’s good to move on for the sake of discussing the topic at hand.
The thought about uploading your brain and then the system getting corrupted is actually terrifying.
Fancy way to say brain damage
Even if the upload would be successful the copy might not even be you. It would act and be exactly like you, but your actual consciousness would still be in your other brain.
@@PaineGainer 50/50 chance to be you. Not bad odds for immortality.
@@PaineGainer I thought the goal was to upload your current consiousness to the system, and that the fact that it may not be you and you might still be in your body was a possible issue or drawback or even benefit in some cases. So if it was perfect, my current consiousness would be uploaded.
@@lordoa it wouldn't be you you, but you have no way of knowing whether you are the copy or the original until it happens. And there's a 50 percent chance you could be either.
"Humans have historically been horrible at predicting the pace of progress" Yes, much like Cyberpunk's dev cycle
😂😂 much like them
HA!
rekt
Yes of course. in 1990, humanity thought that 2020 will have flying cars, and what we have now? A hoverboard that does not hover for a second :/

@@sens0ry0verl0ard7 I like how you think
Interminable psychotic breakdown/ infinite suffering sounds good, I like the idea that if this is possible it opens the door to suffering beyond all comprehension.
The limits of suffering have merely been scratched by natural processes
nice
Can we just stop for a minute and appreciate the animations Kurzgesagt bring to us? Such top-quality and mesmerizing animations. For free.
Yet their platform treats them like shit
it aint free tho, we pay in getting advertised to and relinquishing power to the owners of the platform at the expense of creators even tho they get paid a bit
Everyone are gangsta until they are in stimulation
Every person who Uploaded Their Mind: "Finally, Immortality."
Internet: So anyway, I decided to Shut Down.
i mean if you is still left in the body and its just a copy the simulation becomes a whole new different person
Internet be like: adios my friend bruh
That is why you always have backups. (ps this also brings up the question: will the backups actually be you are a copy that thinks it's you?)
The internet shutting down wouldn't impact someone living in a computer. It would be like shutting down the local highway, all it would do is slow / cut off your travel. I get that it's a joke, just wanted to point it out.

Interesting, but man, this would bring up many moral questions...
Play SOMA to get a start on those moral questions.
If you think about replication, etc. it's very interesting. I for once would like to talk to a few copies of myself :D
When a species elevates to a new level, morality of or for the old species doesn't matter anymore. We don't think about killing chickens or plants or insects as long as they feed us. Same will probably happen that OUR morality will become insignificant to the digital mind as it will rapidly gain intelligence because it won't have the biological limitations that we have. What I'm trying to say is, if what you say happens, our morality won't matter.
It ain't a kruzgesagt video if I don't have an existential crisis by the end
@@yasirelec allowing morality to decay will lead to bigger problems. Ethics along with true understanding will disappear with time and the void of materialism will takes its place.
SOMA does an amazing job at exploring this exact topic. Couldn’t recommend it more.
Also, the Bobiverse series
