how soon before humanity "lives" inside a computer

We already are

< 2000 years

never. no one will be able to upload a human mind into a computer, because of the no-copy theorem in quantum mechanics.

this thread again
only with a different question

i'll bite this time


what are the practical implications? why do you even think about this?

Never say never. In 20 years we'll have perfect simulations of the human brain. Then all bets are off.

you NEVER go full retard!

what are those buttons?
I think I need them.

>>59651062
I think you forget where you are.

What if we are in a simulation, and the test of the ayy lmaos was to see how long it takes us to create a simulation of reality? Will the simulation end when we create a simulation?

worst episode, didn't even finish it.

>>59652732
You know nothing as well

Considering how we're already glued to our computers and phones nearly 24/7 and do most of our work and social interaction in a virtual environment, we might as well already consider ourselves living in one.

>>59650017
But we already do

nosedive and playtest are the best episodes

No need to copy the mind, you just need to interface the senses like they do in matrix. Even if it's not perfect, the brain would adapt to it.
