I’m… not sure I’m ready to bet my life on whole brain emulation (although I’d definitely consider it better than dying). I’m not sure what makes an instance of me me (IIRC this is why the Quantum Physics sequence is actually relevant? Have not read it).
But I’m skeptical of anything that lets me get duplicated as being a consciousness transfer.
“skeptical of anything that lets me get duplicated as being a consciousness transfer”
The ideas in the post are all functional. Whether there’s a consciousness transfer or not, they all are reasons that a given person emulated at real time speed could have the output of someone much more intelligent and focused.
EDIT: this was unclear. Less “a given person emulated at real time speed” and more “per emulated-person-hour”.

Yes, it is one of the reasons that sequence is relevant, and I definitely recommend reading it :)
