Thanks for your take on this. I think our intuitions here differ a fair bit.
I find it difficult to reason about what human brains will do once they are uploaded or whatever and dramatically altered. Many of the things we’re used to now may change dramatically. It may be fair to consider that many kinds of “uploaded and modified humans” will become as different to modern humans as we are to simple algorithms or insects.
It could also be that some people will choose to “live forever”, but many others will be choose to be replaced.
Well, anything can happen if we get arbitrarily altered, but as long as the alterations are in themselves an expression of our preferences, I stick with my prediction.
