We have no idea what awaits beyond death. For all we know this is a glorified VR experience. Maybe the simulation makers are benevolent and our actual selves consented to this and once we're done we're back whatever we were doing out there. We're like Columbus sailing westward thinking he'll get to the Indies.

Here’s an interesting thought, even if you could upload all your memories and thoughts to some super powerful AI, I don’t think it’s possible to upload how those thoughts/memories made you feel. I think the inability to have a physical reaction to thoughts might prevent AI from ever being perfect. Now that I’ve typed this out, I realize this might be the plot of terminator.

You could do it now if you had the $.

Purchase a cs-2 for about 10 million. https://www.cerebras.net/product-system/

License an established llm for ? millions

Purchase a Boston dynamics robot for 100-200k

Hire one phd and a few techs to help out for probably 2 million / yr

You’d also need a building with adequate cooling/infrastructure and lots o electricity. Both very pricey.

Most companies have been messing around with stuff for years. The only requirement for entry is $

I personally wouldn't want anyone conjuring my likeness to have it selling inane stuff. An accurate AI likeness of me would probably tell you to go do something more useful with your time or "go touch grass". But that's never what the AI would tell you. The AI really appreciates your time and wants you to hang out and upload your stuff too. "If you connect your finances, email, and social media accounts, it will help us remember the good times even better!" the AI reassures you in my voice. "We have so much to talk about together, but lemme run through these ads real quick while I gather my thoughts. Ya know, I wouldn't have to play these commercials if you subscribed to the platform like we talked about..."
