Q&A

The economics of uploaded personalities

+0
−0

Setting

Humans have spent centuries investigating human consciousness, brain physiology, AI, and other technologies. We've finally figured out how to "upload" a "consciousness" (these are quoted because I don't really know what this means at this point).

Personality upload is non-destructive so the original biological entity lives on after the upload.

Uploaded personalities incur many costs such as "Cloud" storage and processing, ISP costs, Netflix subscription, etc. These all cost money.

The Question

How does an uploaded personality earn money? What else does an uploaded personality need money for (perhaps additional replication)?
