Random thought: Even if one day we learn how to upload our brains to “the cloud” - doing so wouldn’t actually extend our lives. Because an uploaded version of your brain will never be “you.” You can’t transfer your consciousness to it. So, it would only exist as another version of you.

we call this the teleporter paradox (or some variation thereof) - how you deal with the paradox reveals what /you/ think personal identity depends on (ie, consciousness or a soul or some other immaterial thing). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teletransportation_paradox

Since you are not the same you that you were 5 seconds ago, does it really matter?

Along with my flying car and hover board, I was promised a cloud of ai agents living in my exo-cortex. Never would have thought Cloud Brain would arrive before the other two but hey!

Only way we extend our life by a decent amount imo would be once cybernetics come into play. But then I wonder if that could potentially do more harm then help 😂

I'm not sure we have a sufficient enough definition of consciousness to support that claim. Akin to the head transplant or teleporter arguments. We have a necessary definition of consciousness to create a separation between man and animal, but not a sufficient definition to identify what creates that consciousness if it's created by anything other than the necessary definition.
