    So if you “recreated my data”, would that be a clone of me, or would my consciousness “jump to it”

    And if the latter, how does that work?

      The idea is that your conciousness isn’t magical or special or something that needs to jump anywhere, I save a game, I turn off my pc for a few million years, move the save file to a different computer, start it up and the game continues.

        Problem with that: It is impossible to transfer a file. The best you can do is copy it and delete the original.

        So how do you upload a human brain and be sure that’s you and not a copy.
