The solution to everything

Part I: The Solution A highly theoretical, yet pefectly reasonable way to solve the problem of uploading one's mind in a way that it maximizes resemblance, allowing full connection between host and clone is: Create a superhuman AGI. By definition it will be orders of magnitude more intelligent than us. Let it figure out the solution to the problem of mind uploading. Let the magician do the magic. As I have been exploring the possibilities of mind uploading in the past weeks, I found more and more fundamental hurdles: Silicon vs Carbon To say that we just have to invent Superhuman Artificial General Intelligence (SAGI) to solve this problem is a pretty low intelletual achievement. By definition, SAGI will solve every problem by that token. So I will spend the second half of this essay exploring what it takes to create SAGI: Part II: How to make SAGI Route 1. Build a system that is a good enough at changing its own code to maximize performance in specific tas...

Are you wasting your time on thinking about mind uploading? (video post)

Depends. Are you an optimist? I expose an objective evaluation of the 'usefulness of spending time thinking about mind uploading'. Spoiler alert! YES, it is worth spending time on this. So follow me on my journey of spending a lot of time on this and maybe we will meet in silicon heaven!

What matters about you?

What are the parameters that an API (Artificial Personalized Intelligence) should take into account when emulating an individual's mind? Impulsivity: executive function (un-impulsivity) impulse distribution (between food, sex, sleep, aggression etc.) Personality Traits: Jackson Personality Inventory Revisited (JPI-R) Big Five Personality Traits Myers-Briggs Personality Holland Codes ...to be continued

Why upload your mind?

Why do I want to : upload my mind extend my life slow down time enhance my mind's capacities start a new life as an API (Artificial Personalized Intelligence) Because I have FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) of soo many things. I am becoming ever more aware of my limitations. I have a shitty memory, slow brain, I am often lazy, and I am possibly going to die soon. I want to be a better person. I want to experience deeper levels of complexity in thought. I want to meet other similar minds and I want to form true friendships with them. I don't want to have to choose which cool things not to do. I feel like I am losing 99.9% of all possible amazing experiences. I want to feel less guilt doing stuff that I love but I think is a waste of time. (eg. starcraft) It seems like a very daunting, yet possible challenge. My currency is consciousness. I want to live to see the future, which I believe w...
