If my copies can make copies of themselves, then I'm more inclined to put in a year's work to create the first one. Otherwise, I'm no altruist.
Given that they're identical copies, they'll only make further copies if you make more copies. Sorry.
Well, they'll make more copies if they're a copy of you from before you put in the year's work.
Clever; I should have thought of that.
You're both clever! In any case, if I can repeat the offer serially and the copy is from after the work, then there will actually be 2^N of me if I do it N times. Obviously there are an infinite number of me if the copy is from before.
