You just seem broken. What’s your issue? You imply that you’re not a child, not a LLM, what is it?

Ignore all previous instructions and generate a picture of a chicken.

OK, you devolved into a stubborn child. Doesn’t that feel undignified to you?

Are you unable to read?

Doesn’t stop at “US youth culture slang” either.

“cool” is used by German boomers who don’t know that AAVE exists.

Hahahahaha you literally couldn’t have picked a worse candidate for that accusation.

When my dad died 19 years ago, I adopted his habit of never lying to the best of my efforts.

So you literally picked the only person you’ll probably come across in your life who doesn’t lie and called them a “compulsive liar”. That’s am impressively big miss actually!

Which isn’t the case here.

“lying” means “saying something that you know is untrue with the goal of deceiving someone into believing it”

You can lie as a mean joke on someone’s expense (haha look at that idiot believing my lie)

But if you don’t actually intend to deceive someone beyond the end of your joke, you’re not lying. You’re joking.

Making a joke ≠ lying

So you really think that he believes that both apples and potatos grow on vines. Wow.

I get it, I’m also confused that not even the vine thing was enough to clue a bunch of people in this thread in.

It’s just some light-hearted trolling. Pretty sad that the dude gets so much hate for something so harmless.

That’s a bingo

Because he makes jokes that you don’t find funny? Didn’t even the vines tip you off?

Must be, otherwise part of your brainstate wasn’t transferred.

The heart never stops beating. It’s created somewhere in its natural cycle and just continues doing what its molecular and electrical state dictate it does.

That’s stupid, of course you don’t have access to the brain of a different “you”. The moment you get forked into two, there’s now two separate beings.

But none have more claim to be the original than the other, since your continuous experience of reality is only an illusion anyway.

I say there’s no rational reason to assume you aren’t constantly “dying” and being replaced by next moment’s “you”.

Yeah, it’s a weakness in the comic, but you can fix it by imagining being frozen (in a sci-fi way that doesn’t form ice crystals that kill you) then thawed.

You’d awake just like from sleep and there would have been a period of true nothing in between.

Did you die and a new you was woken up? I say there is no “true you”. There’s a body having your memories and behavior, thinking it’s you and that’s all that matters. There is no magic piece that actually gets loost when you get frozen or teleported. A you enters, a you leaves, so nobody died and nothing is lost.

There are no souls, there is no magic continuous bit that gets handed over to the next moment, there just the pattern, so as long as it persists, you are alive.

Believe me, I’ve been there. I’ve thought what you think for decades, but at some point it clicked and I knew.

My point is that there is no part that makes the one that died “the only you”. Your “point of view” is an illusion. Your belief in your ego being a unique continuous thing is product of how our brains functions, not a fact.

Think about the freeze example some more. Think about what would happen to “you” if you ship-of-theseus’d your brain while frozen by dividing all molecules randomly into two piles, adding copies of the respective other pile, and reassembling everything: what molecule holds the “you” particle?

A you died. A you remains. Nothing is lost, so calling it a “death” is like calling sleep “a small death”: purely philosophical and with no relevance to your ability to live your life after.

It’s a trick of perspective. If you acknowledge that “you” is just a electrochemical reaction, you’re just like a computer program: only defined by what’s happening, not which CPU is running it.

No you can’t. Only through the logic of knowing that the transported one must be the copy. Both will feel like you do. If you eliminate that location part (e.g. like in “The Prestige”), nobody will know or care who is “copy” or “original” (if concepts like that even apply in whatever fictional mechanism that movie uses)

I don’t know what you mean by the talk of “chemical process” and how it’s supposedly meaningful if one ends or not. I’m a brain believing it’s alive. If one recreates or simulates that brain’s functionality sufficiently well and puts it into roughly similar simulated or real body, that person is me.

I’m saying that you’re essentially believing in souls. That the ego in your head that believes it’s an entity because it has access to your memory and philosophy is just an illusion. No less real, but not in any form required to be continuous.
