Uploading and immortality is not that hard. Once your mind is in software,
you can make backup copies and program replacement robots as better
versions become available. You don't even need cryonics. There is enough
personal information about you on your phone and in your email, messages,
and social media accounts to program a LLM to convince everyone that it's
you. It doesn't matter if some memories are missing or made up because you
won't notice. By next year you will forget 90% of what happened yesterday,
yet this doesn't bother you. It will be even easier in 100 years when
everyone that knows you today is dead.

The big obstacle to uploading is convincing people that their consciousness
will be transferred to the silicon version of you when the carbon version
is destroyed. But that objection will go away once you see others wake up
in their new bodies, younger, stronger, and smarter, with super powers like
infrared vision and built in GPS and WiFi. Since consciousness is an
illusion not taken seriously by AI developers, it's just a matter of
programming your copy to claim to have feelings. That just means having the
LLM predict your actions and carry them out in real time.

Of course once we start doing this, carbon based humans will quickly become
extinct and nobody will care.
