Дискутуј о The Future of Work and Death

This film is funny in that it acts (assumes) that such an endeavor would have the desired effect. I get that they believe that biology is the limiting factor, but aren't our brains (and the neurology they contain) also biological? Isn't that like saying "upload the data from our heart!" Does that mean that our digital heart is keeping us alive? I know it's not a fair comparison, but I also think it is unreasonable to assume that all our neurological function is happening in the physicality of our brains.

I don't want to dive too deeply into this rabbit hole, and I haven't seen the film, but just like "transporters" in Star Trek any transfer of a human being's memories from one state to another (brain to computer) would involve the death of the host. Period. You'd be dead and only a copy of your memory patterns would exist.

You want to treat the human being as a spiritual entity, meaning that our totality is NOT contained in the neurons in our brains. If that's true, a digital manifestation would not only not be us because we had been killed--I already said it's a "copy"-- it would lack an essential something not contained in our memories. I happen to believe that we ARE simply the product of our memories and instincts and a "copy" would function exactly like us. It wouldn't see itself any differently than a human.

The problem, of course, is the software. Teaching a computer to "run" our memories as if it were a human body...wow, that would be incredibly difficult. That'd be a orders of magnitude more difficult than getting a Mac to run PC software.

You should watch the film if these things interest you. Part of what prompted my post was they assume this is in the very near future...I mean, after all they are futurists. There were also several trans-humanists in the film. While I think technology has been amazing, it seems to me they are being reductionist and naive.
