question: does this mean that if someone perfectly recreates my brain’s patterns (in say….. silicon) a thousand years after i die, then my death will feel like a short nap, after which i wake up (in my thousand-years-hence body)?

or will the recreation of my brain a thousand years from now simply THINK it’s a continuation of me after death, meanwhile my real stream-of-consiousness ended permanently when i died?

makes sense. If people do not die then they don't need to reproduce anymore. Even if they do it will likely be through artificial womb technology. There is no need to use your body as an incubator when you can design a machine to do it far safer. Sex may become nothing more than vestigial behavior.

Man I wish I could be rich. If I was like Bezos' type rich or Musk type rich, I would invest more money in mental health disorders. I am sick of being in my prime and being boggled down by having to take meds which make me feel like crap.

Supplements help too, but If I were to be rich I would treat mental health disorders like a huge thing and find a solution for all these types of disorders which hinder peoples' lives, hinder peoples' happiness and hinder a person from attaining their goals.

These things mean so much to me and hopefully to all of you as well or at least most of you maybe:) Who knows maybe by 2025 more accurate diagnoses' coming from AI can be achievable with the rate of progress science is achieving right now is amazing.

Therapy helps though a lot but even therapy, ECT, and other treatments which you could name don't permanently fix someone's condition and brain. Its all temporary. A more permanent fix would be desirable obviously.

I mean we already see a similar effect strongly in well developed counties. There’s fun stuff to do besides fornciation and courtship, and kids eat into fun time and fun funds, MASSIVEly.

Also, as you stop needing a small army to work a farm, huge families become vanishingly rare.

So just imagine the effect of having mind-blowing robot sex readily available. It’s not that nobody will have babies; so few will bother that the death rate will outpace new births even more than they do now

>intelligence requires symbolic rules, fine: show me the symbolic version of ChatGPT. If it is truly so unimpressive, then it must be trivial to replicate.

This is not how this works. It's about different methods for different things.
