Consider the quantum suicide experiment, or the Shrodinger's cat

But that's just a semantic trick. The first-person perspective
consciousness can still be finite. Just because "the end" isn't
part of the experience, it doesn't follow that the sequence of
experiences continues indefinitely. I've had my consciousness
interrupted. There was no mathematical/logical necessity that it
resume.
Of course. But if you assume either QM, or comp, there are.
