I agree. My reason for posting the link here is as reality check-- LW seems to be full of people firmly convinced that brain-uploading is the only only viable path to preserving consciousness, as if the implementation "details" were an almost-solved problem.

Ah, no. I do agree that uploading is probably the best path, but B doesn't follow from A.

Just because I think it's the best option, doesn't mean I think it'll be easy.
