rapture for nerds

Yeah, here's a somewhat unpleasant idea for what post-singularity uploaded-consciousness will be like.

I'd never thought of uploading. But more less on schedule, we're at the point where we can build a computer that matches the power of the human nervous system. By 2052, Moore's Law will have given us about 26 doublings, so we'll be able to put 100 million minds on each server. 100 servers should suffice...

Another thing that makes me glad that the singularity is as unlikely as any other form of afterlife. Thanks for the pointer, that was nicely done.

Ayup.
Of course, it's not like rotting in a box in the dirt is all that appealing, either.
