Klaus Schwab Praises CCP's China As "Role Model For Many Countries"
They are just saying it outloud now.
Brain-uploading is the end goal of the WEF; it's why they act as they do. The goal is effective immortality in digital form, where the human body becomes effectively a vestigial organ/amusement park.

Well, if they want to kill themselves in a doomed science experiment, that's their prerogative.
It isn't going to work, not any time in the next few decades or centuries for technical reasons, nor likely ever for metaphysical reasons.
MillionsQuestion is, how many good people will their stupidity kill, directly or otherwise, before they are brought down?

I think It's 100% possible to eventually make a computer powerful enough to mimic the human brain. It's basically just an organic computer anyways. We will probably invent ones that are far superior at some point.Only if we allow that technology to be developed. And assuming said technology is even possible.
Is it? I wouldn't be sure it's technically possible to do in a more than rudimentary way. We do not even fully understand how exactly human intelligence is tied with the hardware it is running on. Translating it to work on silicon, in the same way at that, is going to be a similar problem as with multiplatforming computer software between different processor architectures (the result is often buggy as hell and not exactly the same), times million, and that's without even getting into the continuity related problems. If they want to create a shitty AI loosely based on themselves and kill themselves because of it, thinking it's totally them, it's their problem. We will necessarily deal with general AI related issues before that or die trying anyway.It's going to work eventually. Tech is only getting better and better
Look how far and fast tech has come in the last 50-100 years or so.Is it? I wouldn't be sure it's technically possible to do in a more than rudimentary way.

Give it another 50. 100. 1000.
We will get there, as long as we don't blow ourselves up first.
I'm a firm believer that the end of the human race will actually be more or a transformation of the human race, into technological hybrids. We will ne made obsolete by our own creations.
No, that's not what digitisation is about. What you are talking about is cyborgisation. What digitisation is about is full transfer of a person into digital form. The former is definitely easier and much closer - some argue we are already cyborgs in a way.Look how far and fast tech has come in the last 50-100 years or so.

Which begs the question; why are they're so obsessed with digital immortality, when biological immortality would be far easier and quicker to achieve, and doesn't come with any existential questions like is it actually you, or just a soulless copy?No, that's not what digitisation is about.

Digitisation, meanwhile, as something exemplified in sci-fi, is 40k Necron biotransferance.
Yes, it's even beyond what the Adeptus Mechanicus is willing to try.
Naturally, before we will be even able to say for sure if digitisation is truly possible, we will need to master human biology and computer science to a level where biological immortality, autonomous weapons and AI will seem like highschool science projects.

It’s not like they’re going to go full blown Futurama with themselves, right? Or end up like that crazy doctor from the 2003 TMNT series.I suspect it's because they don't think that biological immortality is possible. Where at most, you'll just live longer, but there is a limit. They might even have knowledge gained from god-only-knows-what sort of secret experimentation to point them toward this view.
Also because by putting themselves beyond human biology, they thus become beyond human and insert stupid god-complex here. At least that's my speculation on such things. If anyone else has better ideas, I'd love to hear them.

Ironically, it's probably because they are boomers, and know medical science enough to expect results from serious sources. Meanwhile in the computer stuff, they are clueless, and so they will believe anything. Remember, these are people with 7+ digit bank accounts, bullshitting them can be lucrative.I suspect it's because they don't think that biological immortality is possible.

I have little problem with the idea of these people being disembodied heads for centuries with full awareness of their condition and utterly helpless to change itIt’s not like they’re going to go full blown Futurama with themselves, right? Or end up like that crazy doctor from the 2003 TMNT series.
Simple; uploaded AI can survive interstellar journeys and conditions a squishy meatbag, even a biologically immortal one, cannot, or cannot as easily.Which begs the question; why are they're so obsessed with digital immortality, when biological immortality would be far easier and quicker to achieve, and doesn't come with any existential questions like is it actually you, or just a soulless copy?
