ZyMazza predicts that mind uploading is impossible. He clarifies he's not denying computer consciousness or the possibility of building an identical copy of yourself in a computer, but argues you cannot truly transfer your mind.
He quotes a tweet about people rushing to upload after the first K-pop idol or e-girl influencer reaches out from beyond the grave, but questions the premise, calling abandoning the body a 'type-error tragedy' and noting that full brain emulation never considers neurons in the heart.
