Consciousness is a process, not just data. If they copy the weights of your brain neurons, they would be able to create new life that thinks like you, but is NOT you. Although that new life would be very confused and would honestly believe that it is you.

Thus, it's neither eternal life nor eternal torment. Maybe torment of newly created AIs, but we didn't come to "AI have rights" yet.

    I have a super weird view of selfhood I think. I know that the uploaded existence wouldn't be me but I also don't care if that makes sense. If you've ever watched pantheon I would totally upload myself even if it killed me so that the uploaded me could exist.

    So do it? Honestly the biggest issue is privacy, someone could analyse your dark fantasies in detail.

    And yeah I think we will be able to simulate human brain at some point. What's more interesting, would we be able to continue the thought process outside the biological box. Could I escape into machine? Doesn't guarantee huge longevity boost as machines bug out & break from time to time, but still.
