I have maybe half a dozen comments on this article formenting in my head right now; I should try to formulate and post some of them but that depends in no small measure on how long I’ll be in the office today and the EU championship.

AFAIK I am flesh and flesh makes me me. I am a function of my brain. I can’t think of anyway you could move me outside of my brain. It would be copy of me existing independently of me.

Yeah, but you see, you lay off your experienced developers and hire new developers who just about scrape by through using copilot but cost much less

Then realize that you are aren’t you from a couple of years ago because nearly every molecule in you since then has been replaced. Basically a continuous “you” is an illusion.

Continuously replacing parts isn’t exactly the same thing as ditching them for something else entirely. If they kept replacing planks from the Ship of Theseus with clay facsimiles, it would have sank.

Atoms in tooth enamel are not replaced. “As a consequence, the C14 levels found in a person’s tooth enamel can be used to estimate the year at which their teeth formed, due to the fact that atmospheric levels of C14 have decreased steadily since the cessation of above-ground nuclear bomb testing in 1964.”
“ That paper also cites other studies reporting that there is no turnover of neuronal DNA and eye lens crystaline protiens.
Work by Spalding et al. (2005b) and Bhardwaj et al. (2006) on neural tissue DNA, and by Lynnerup et al. (2008) on eye lens crystalline proteins have confirmed that other tissue components in the body besides tooth enamel, once
formed https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/227839.pdf, do not turnover during life.”

Right-- basically training an AI on all your stimulus-response parameters. That’s about as close to “merging” with AI as you can get. Keep an eye out for Talking Tom featuring Ray Kurweil in the App Store
