Uploading our minds to a computer might become possible. It would require mapping the brain’s structure and function, simulating it in a digital environment, and transferring it to a hardware device. Uploading our minds could offer benefits such as immortality, enhancement, and backup. Uploading our minds could be the ultimate technological leap. The problem is that brain states are not static. They change all the time.

I wonder what does humanity want from AI? senseless instant gratification ("Every worthwhile technology will first be used for evil and/or porn",bearing in mind the adage don't mistake ineptitude for evil :thisisfine: ) or a sustainable prosperity?If AI helps develop mind uploading and reduces our resource consumption to electricity,what will our virtual and real worlds and selves look like?
