Elon Musk says, Neuralink could capture an approximate snapshot of a person's mind and upload it to an Optimus (robot) body It's not immediate, but it's possible and probably within 20 years

Uploading the mind is not the hard part. The hard part is keeping identity stable when consciousness runs on new hardware. ... 20 years hmm

uploading the mind is not the hard part??

I mean relative to what comes after. Capturing memories, traits, and neural data is a technical problem. But preserving the continuity of self - the thing that makes you you; that's the real challenge.

Hardware is itself an appearance in consciousness. Seems hardware “runs on” consciousness, not the other way around.

That is the deeper paradox; if hardware is an appearance in consciousness, then uploading might just be awareness re-rendering itself through a new interface. Maybe its not “mind into machine,” but “machine into mind.”

just neuroscience. We still don't fully understand how identity persists through biological continuity, let alone digital transfer. The tech may copy the brain, but that doesn't mean you wake up on the other side.

A screenshot of your mind is not a transfer of your consciousness. It makes your innermost thoughts readable, but won't save you from dying.
