a full biological brain… copied neuron-by-neuron… driving a simulated body for the first time. not animation.

gives me altered carbon vibes… but how far are we from the self part of this?

In the X thread, someone already asked, “That fly has no idea it is in a simulation. Do we?”

what if you could clone your actual neural wiring and put that copy to work? not a chatbot that sounds like you… a you that thinks like you. running in a sandbox. would it be painful for it? would it be painful for you? could you keep someone you’ve lost… running?
