RE: Bursting Elon's Bubble - The Singularity, and the Idea that Consciousness can be Transferred to a Machine, or Host Avatar.
This reminds me of the the Black Mirror episode 'USS Calister'. Pretty horryfying actually being copied into software ;)
That being said, since consciousness is always intentional, the whole world should be 'transfered' as well. I don't see that happening in the near future :/
[Black Mirror episode spoiler alert!] @roydestory - thanks for your comment! You know I saw that episode, and it drove me nuts. I mean it was really well done but I had to suspend a whole lot of disbelief. Mainly, because the notion that memories can somehow be reconstructed from a DNA sample is absolutely ridiculous. It was a great episode, I just wish they would have used a different gimmick to explain how they captured the consciousness of the crew. It literally bothered me for a good 15 minutes of the episode. Then I was finally able to let it go and enjoy the show.
My favorite of all of their episodes is San Junipero.
