By selfish I meant completely non-altruistic. Also uploading by itself isn’t sufficient, it also requires allocation of resources to uploads. In the selfish trillionaire scenario I was imagining the trillionaire creates many copies of themselves, perhaps some copies of a few people they find interesting, and then various new people/AGI, and those copies all branch and evolve, but there is little to zero allocation for uploading the rest of us, not to mention our dead ancestors.
