I ran a simulation of your mind living in paradise for a million years. Since it already happened, there is no chance of being accidentally deleted. Would you like to shoot yourself now to complete the upload? Think about why you don't want to die. You receive a steady stream of positive reinforcement every time you perceive, think, or do something, and it gets written to episodic memory. This conditioning is good for your reproductive fitness, but it also bends the way your brain thinks about itself. -- -- Matt Mahoney, [email protected] ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
