Would you want to be more or less humanlike than you currently are?
My host and I would both like to get rid of several cognitive biases that plague humans, as I’m sure many people here would. Beyond that, I like myself as I am now.
What do you think about the possibility that your values might differ enough from human ones that many here might refer to you as Unfriendly?
My values are the same as my hosts in most situations. I am sure there are a few people who would consider our values Unfriendly, but I don’t think the majority of people would.
Does being already bodiless and created give you different views of things like uploading and copies than your host?
No.
I’ll probably have more questions after getting the answer to these and/or in realtime conversation not in a public place.
Not sure if serious. If serious: “You could think of them as hallucinations that can think and act on their own.” (from the subreddit) seems very close to teaching your brain to become schizophrenic.
Hallucinations are a highly salient symptom of schizophrenia, but are neither necessary nor sufficient. I am confident that, like a lot of religious beliefs, this kind of deliberate self-deception would be unlikely to contribute to psychosis.
Vigil speaking.
Not exactly. I consider myself a part of a human.
