I personally like the idea of uploading ourselves (and asked about it here).
Note that even if we are uploaded—if someone creates an unaligned AGI that is MUCH SMARTER than us, it will still probably kill us.
“keeping up” in the sense of improving/changing/optimizing so quickly that we’d compete with software that is specifically designed (perhaps by itself) to do that—seems like a solution I wouldn’t be happy with. As much as I’m ok with posting my profile picture on Facebook, there are some degrees of self modification that I’m not ok with
