Scientist suggests mind-uploading tech that creates a virtual copy of you to live forever may be ready in our lifetimes​

Clas Weber specialises in philosophy of the mind, AI and metaphysics, and they believe that technology will be capable of uploading our brains, or at least mapping them, in the net decade.
He explained: "It took years and hundreds of millions of dollars to map the first human genome about 20 years ago."
"Today, the fastest labs can do it within hours for about $100.
"With similar gains in efficiency, we might see mind-uploading technology within the lifetimes of our children or grandchildren."
But mapping the brain is just the start, as there are three challenges to overcome before an upload can begin.
One is being able to develop the technology to actually upload our brain, as this requires a cloning and transferring ability that we haven’t got yet.
Weber said: "Trying to simulate the human brain would be a monumental challenge.
"Our brains are the most complex structures in the known universe. They house around 86 billion neurons and 85 billion non-neuronal cells, with an estimated one million billion neural connections.
"For comparison, the Milky Way galaxy is home to about 200 billion stars."
There is also the issue of whether a simulated brain could ‘give rise to a real mind’.

Mind-uploading could be possible in the next decade.

this is how we defeat God.

I've always wanted to upload my brain but I wish there was a way that it could still be me and not my digital clone.

I mean, the whole point of immortality is that I don't wanna die.

This is how we become the aliens

Finna be so many robots just sitting around jacking off all day

So once the legendary Nicolas Cage passes, we can have a copy of him forever.



Things are gonna be ok.

This is the end of humanity and the beginning of some cyber dystopia...

or It could be the next step in our evolution. we used to die by the age of 37, now 70-80
why not forever?

We may be able to copy the contents of a person's mind, but we'll never be able to create consciousness.

dont be so sure

It wouldn't be YOU.

It would be a computer simulation of you.

So, it could maybe have an effect of grieving, since you theoretically with sufficient programming, could create a digital version that has the same memories and speaks the same way and maybe even responds similarly.

But YOU or whomever is digitally cloned, is not going to be present or conscious. Your consciousness would still terminate with your body.

you tards cry about overpopulation then talk about living forever.

It will most likely occur by replacing bilogical neurons with synthetic neurons. With such a method, you probably don't actually need to understand consciousness you just need to fully understanding how neurons work. So, the argument that we don't know how consciousness works does not apply to this method. Also, it avoid the whole "copy" argument.

You mean I could up load myself into a killing machine and slaughter people??

That's pretty much it really, nano bots converting your brain into a synthetic version...... Not a copy but the actual brain.....

This assumes consciousness would just naturally arise if you had a bunch of synthetic neurons. There's no reason to believe that - the scientific community has absolutely no idea how consciousness arises.

you could be sentenced to life in a digital prison. that would suck

The fact that this is just an afterthought to the complexity of the neurons plus connections is absolutely hilarious.

unlike the know it all religious people. the scientific community is trying to understand that.

Got to catch me first.............
