#mind uploading

[theomniplayer]

Main group for my personal project, currently with the WIP name- Project Paranet

It’s a paranormal/scifi story based around a group of players and their self aware character companions getting stuck in a digital world in attempt to uncover a mystery to do with their favourite online game.

It also has themes about overcoming things like anxiety and depression and being understanding to people different from you. It’s a very personal project as one of the main characters is a fictionalised version of myself and I hope to capture some of my struggles with my mental health and trying to stay hopeful. Maybe I can even give some people some comfort that they aren’t alone with this kinda stuff, I want to make something like that to help people in a similar way to how the owl house helped me stay hopeful when I was struggling.

can you upload someone to save their life? They think uploading is a weird mind prison, an endless purgatory. You know better.

sure it’s not reality. It’s nothing like this ��physical world’ of theirs. You’ve only ever met one person who bother trying out a sense of touch (her parents disapproved). You’ve never ‘touched’ anything yourself, let alone anyone. You’ve never tasted. You spend most of your time in mathematical abstractions. But honestly you don’t see why any of that would be a bad thing, even if you try to think about it.

they said no, when they were in danger. They said no when death was breathing down their neck but there was still a chance at survival. But now the lights fading from their eyes and they’re about to disappear, forever. (They can always stop existing later, if you made the wrong call. Dying now, dying later. It’s the same thing, except you’re giving them a choice)

(right?)

Heaven's River

Some years ago I did post reviewing Dennis E. Taylor’s Bobiverse series. In the first book, Bob Johansson wakes up in the future to discover that he died but that his mind was uploaded into a computer. He’s forced into being the control system for a Von Neumann probe, a self replicating interstellar craft. Being a computer engineer, he eventually hacks his control system and is able to take…

eyan eternal chapter 4

I was on a roll today (there's a food pun in there somewhere) and finished chapter 4 today too. we revisit our leads as they go to see what zero has been working on. after all, they say to write what you know and if there's 3 things i know it's gay, isolation, and toiling away on enormous projects you have no business doing by yourself.

i was almost done with this chapter yesterday but had to tweak the dialogue. there's no easy way to do this though. Zero Likes To Talk and Use Big Words and who am i to stop him i'm just the powerless author and this has never gone well

that being said there's no way to make this technobabble easy. i'll leave TLDRs throughout don't worry

thanks for people who read this you give me so many life points

(as always you can find the other chapters at my Eyan Eternal tag or on the website: http://www.featureenvyproductions.com/comics.php?initialcomicid=3&initialchapter=4)

tldr: he's saying people figured out how to model the conscious brain in a computer in its entirety and that was good enough for spiffy mind uploading (also wait did i make it clear he's just maintaining it and didn't create it alone? not that it matters for the plot but like yeah maybe i'll tweak the dialogue in the non prototype version of this idk be nice to me I'm trying)

tldr: the thing maps your brain to a bunch of particles and your virtual brain exists for a very very very long time....also yes whatever computer this is that exists in the far future is well beyond the capabilities of a classical computer.

tldr: "i'm gonna write my own brain to the computer in a slightly different way and see what happens"

um yeah idk if i communicated this effectively....zero doesn't really know if he's "conscious" the same way people are. this is as much an experiment as anything else.

FUCK I clicked wings before I saw mind upload!! With mind uploading I could be uploaded into a robotic bird or exist as a vampire 3d model or really anything else on this list!

Transhumanism: The Future of Human Enhancement

Transhumanism envisions a future where humanity can transcend its current physical and mental limitations through the use of advanced technologies.

Transhumanism and the Connection Between Human Consciousness and Artificial Intelligence Transhumanism envisions a future where humanity can transcend its current physical and mental limitations through the use of advanced technologies. The central belief of transhumanism is that humanity not only can but should pursue certain objectives to shape its future. However, there are differing…

Surely the first step after uploading your mind into a computer is to edit it???

The essence of science fiction (or speculative fiction if you're nasty) is coming up with a change and then figuring out how it would change society.

Like it's been said that anybody could write a story about the invention of a car, but good scifi predicts the traffic jam too.

So, to wit: once we figure out brain uploading, it'll definitely become a thing to run your brain on computers not at all suitible for it, just like how today there's a thing where people port Doom to toasters and car radios.

There'll be people going "I'm living in this iPod!" and "let's see if we can stuff my entire mind into this commodore 64"

It'll happen. Mark my words.

Decoding the Fruit Fly: Scientists Reveal The First Comprehensive Neural Map of an Insect Brain

Researchers have uncovered the first ever comprehensive map of an insect brain. But what does this actually mean? What would happen if we were to simulate this connectome in a computer program?

Good news guys? Researchers have announced the creation of the first-ever comprehensive map of the brain of an insect! The map includes all of the neurons and connecting synapses of the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster. Published in Science (reference), the research provides a brain-wiring diagram (also known as the connectome as long-time readers will know), of a complex animal for the first…

Avatar: The Way of Water, and mind uploading

As usual, I’m late to the party, not having seen this in the theaters. But it became available for streaming this weekend. As with the first, it’s a visually stunning movie. And also as with the first, while I know I was supposed to be captivated by the animals and vegetation, and was to some extent, I was more interested in the machines and overall human technology, and how they work,…
