Good question, thanks. Yes, I do think that "mind uploading", suitably loosely defined, will be available first on a non-WBE platform. I'm assuming that human-level AGI relatively quickly becomes superhuman-level, to the point where imitating the behavior of a specific individual becomes a possibility.
I see. In GAZP vs. GLUT, Eliezer argues that the only way to feasibly create a perfect imitation of a specific human brain is to do computations that correspond in some way to the functional roles behind mental states, which will produce identical conscious experiences according to functionalism.
