Seeing this, I realized that one of my fairly high priorities if I were running at a millionfold speedup would be to convince the people I care about to do it as well, both for their own benefit and so that we'd be able to interact.
I suspect that it would take them more than a day to do so, and I also suspect that long before then I would have lost interest in them. A millenium is a long time.
Sad, but true. Perhaps I'd create simulated people similar to them instead. Designing people like that has its own pitfalls, though. A situation where I start as the only upload sounds very not-fun from a social perspective... maybe I'd increase my tendency to introversion to the point where I could be psychologically stable on my own, at least until I had a simulated world to be in.
That sounds very dangerous for your values. For company, just branching yourself and drastically limiting but not zeroing the amount of contact between the branches while having them read different books and doing different tasks and maybe having small differences in settings should be enough to make your brain register it as a different person and have it fulfil the need for social contact.
Yeah, this is more or less what I would do. I don't think explicit modifications would even be necessary... the simple existence of others would, I think, be enough to drive me in multiple different directions.
