Essentially, we're talking about the transference of the actual consciousness of an individual to a machine. Plug it into the internet and then what would we get? The antichrist? 😉

Originally posted by josephw Really? You don't think they will attempt to upload the neuronet of a human brain to a computer? I'm calling it "neuronet" for lack of a better word.
