It's more that we're able to build computers from scratch, and we can transfer data between them. You can ship-of-theseus-backup yourself ad infinitum (well, until the usable energy runs out.)

are you even still "you" at that point?

from the pov of your current consciousness, does it really matter to be copied?

[Dylan16807]

By the time we get to this thought experiment we only really need to consider people that were fine with the initial upload process. Being transferred to a new computer is peanuts in comparison.

By the same logic - are you really you from one moment to the next?

[chillwaves]

from the perspective of my experience, yes. I think that is not true if you make a copy.

At least, you would leave an old you behind. Which from my intuition would be "me".

I understand "me" would also live on, but at that point I think I would just prefer to die.

[plutonorm]

so "you" is connected with the physical matter that makes you up? You are aware that that physical matter is completely replaced many times over during the course of your life time?
