More generally, what would folks here consider to be good enough evidence that uploading was worth doing?
Good enough evidence that (properly done) uploading would be a good thing, as opposed to the status quo of tens of thousands of people dying every day, you mean?
[edit] If you want to compare working SENS to uploading, then I’d have to think a lot harder.
I was wondering about evidence that uploading was accurate enough that you’d consider it to be a satisfactory continuation of personal identity.
I’d think that until even one of those little worms with only a couple hundred neurons is uploaded (or maybe a lobster), all evidence of the effectiveness of uploading is theory or fiction.
If computing continues to get cheaper at Moore’s Law rates for another few decades, then maybe...
