the Equivalence Solution

I've believed this in some form since the early 1980s, and posted it online since 2011:
An AI that can hold a complete multimedia description of your whole life in its mind at once, complete with personality data, is morally equivalent to all your perceptions at any single moment in your life.

Of course, this might be a wrong and stupid belief. But it just so happens to be our only hope (at present) to "solve" the problem of human death. Obviously, a way to directly scan and convert neurons into mind-replacing software would be incomparably better. But that is completely impossible with our current primitive technology. We may not even be close. Look how long it's taking to develop the SpaceX Starship system.

What I don't understand is why thousands of people aren't working hard to develop this one and only hope we currently have. The most important things can't really be talked about, in too many ways to count. Sadly, we probably have to blame religions for this. It's in their interest to claim the problem of death has ALREADY been solved - provided, of course, that you follow their religion. One of the more blatant examples of this switcheroo is Scientology.
