You wouldn't upload your soul to the cloud, would you?
| If I cant have my a copy of my soul while storing the original on the cloud then why bother? After all according to some a human without a soul is just a shell
| Ayup you just gave an idea for a cyberpunk Fallen London AU, thank you

But the backup won't be yourself, right? I mean... Who we are? Our spectation of signals from inside and outside which exists right now? Or we are systems with some exact parameters which are associated with our personalities? That's a pretty boring questions, I know...
| >>413372
That's a very interesting question.
I personally believe that if your existence knows discontinuity, you are not the same person.
As such, I have no idea if the me from yesterday is the me from today, or if I was drugged for a day along with my family and experimented with over last saturday, then implanted memories and woke up this sunday.
Everytime I wake up, I consider it's a new me.

Yeah, pretty interesting opinion. Anyway if we are products of a brain's work, we are associated with a neuron network which contains us. You are the same person because your brain is not disappear every time you're sleeping. It works anyway and if one part of your brain stops your spectation of the world it doesn't mean you're gone. Your hardware just stops the working of 'your soft'. But we are not only soft, we need to understand our complexity.

But yeah, I understand why we always think about ourselves as about the soft. But parameters of our biological hardware limits possibilities of our actions and feelings, so this limits is part of our nature too. And that's why we won't be the same if we will become digital creatures. Different parameters of hardware. Different limitations. Different possibilities. Different nature as a result. Even if we will be the same spectators as we are right now. :^)
| what is a soul even
| >>413414
Ugh... No, brain makes us a moving meat garbage. Our personality is a product of brain's work too but there is a new level. I mean... We probably able to become a moving robotic garbage in the future, but our personality can be saved if our expectations are correct.
| Not sure about uploading my soul but i sure would want to download a car... or download a girl,then open her folders to see what they hide, force my way in her main .exe file and even leave some of my own files inside.

what's the essential difference between a human an a synthetic meatbag AI with emotion emulators
| >>413441
We can't know, yeah... Because we even can't know real feelings of other people because we can't know how it is to be themselves. Here is really hard questions because we even have no complex and complete human feelings theory.
| You know, your brain is very good at filling holes. In memories, dreams, blinks of the eyes, fast moving objects...
A soul is everything of you now, that could be functioning in someone elses' body.
The CTRL+H of your neural network. Memories are corrupted and quick-fixed by your brain all the time. All the time.
Your soul is everything of you that can't be replicated by an other being.
A soul is history, with pacing and order, errors and fixes.
A soul is a person's history.
