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...
