I think you’re conflating creating a similar vs identical conscious experience with a simulated brain. Close is close enough for me—I’d take an upload run at far less resolution than molecular scale.
I spent 23 years studying computational neuroscience. You don’t need to model every molecule or even close to get a similar computational and therefore conscious experience. The information content of neurons (collectively and inferred where data is t complete) is a very good match to reported aspects of conscious experience.
