This doesn't even make any sense. 'Uploading your consciousness' means you are given two tools - a brain scanner and a gun with one bullet. You're still dead. And the chatbot created in your likeness will also inevitably find itself getting wiped as well.

Life, and consciousness, is absurd enough (yet certainly real) that I'm fully open to the possibility of further absurdities happening once we die, but I think it's an absolute certainty that we're all going to die. And accepting this is quite important because it rather dramatically influences one's life philosophy.

Meat isn't magical. There's nothing supernatural about a brain. It's all clockwork machinery all the way down.

A digital copy of a mind is no less alive than your children. They are, after all, nothing more than lossy copies of yourself.

Then make a brain without access to other brains or things made by other brains.
