No way maybe 200 years

my lifetime being maybe another 30 years at least.

probably 50

id predict it before 2050

We can allready simulate at least portions of a brain, we did in fact do that. Took years to simulate a second, but that doesnt matter to the scan existing.

BUT

it would need a new kind of harddrive to save it

because our brain doesn't work binary

scanning isn't the hardpart, it's the storage

exaaactly

@Mysteriedingens you cant only describe binary states with binary

even a byte isnt binary anymore.

Maybe Quantum Computing will change the possibilities

Even a single byte can describe 256 different states

You can simulate a brain with conventional computing

5d optical storage shows promise, but not enough people/orgs are working with it.

False, a bit can only represent two states

a bit can describe two states

a byte is made up of 8 bits and can describe 256 states

because of the combination of states the bits can have

right

its just another representation of a quantity of bits, it still breaks down to bits

and?

gravity is also not binary and can be simulated by computers quite easily

you don't recreate gravity, just a simulation of it

qubits however can be both 0 and 1 at the same time

you can achieve the same by simply combining 2 bits...

100million times slower

Yeah maybe slower, but for mere storage its more than good enough

it takes a few megabytes and few seconds to save a picture, what do you think concsciousness has in terms of file format

for write only storage it's fine, but for read/write, that's terrible.

Again, i just said saving my conciousness, not actualy activating it should be possible within my lifetime

There is the discussion, as soon as you save your consciousness, you are not you anymore. Data storage has package loss, so you mutate your consciousness

As if you are actually saving your consciousness you only clone yourself

well, yeah thats a philosophical consideration SOMA toyed with as well

(In that game there were people that commited suicide right after their brainscans for the sake of continuity)

Tf, you banned YOUTUBE?

WTAF

@Yowilkat ??

I tried to post a youtube link and it says its banned

Ah yes, nobody van post YouTube links or invites
