There's another big issue with the "mind uploading" method. The "uploading" part, not just the "mind" part that was discussed. When you uploaded this video, it didn't disappear from your server/computer. Uploading only ever creates a copy at the new location. It would be fine if wanted to create clones/records of you, but it wouldn't work as a way of cheating death as the original that is providing the data would still very much be dead. A much more likely route of immortality through technology would be the "brain-in-a-jar" method where have support systems replacing biological systems needed to keep the brain alive. (there's already artificial hearts, lungs, pancreas..) Can then combine that with BCI connection to virtual environments/robot bodies to provide senses/autonomy. Maybe even eventually a synthetic biological body to control.
