AI as a Path to Immortality

Why would you want to upload your intelligence to the cloud?

The basic premise is that many entities that do it professionally don’t have the best interests of humanity in mind.

Individuals, however, especially if they’re not working on a personal brand or a corporate / political agenda, tend to have diverse and often empathic ways of thinking that want good for the world.
