I am not reading a SlateStar essay early on a Monday, but I think this is a response to Yud's teaching that a copy of you is really you so Colossus can really bring you back to live in digital heaven / hell. '90s *Star Trek* had some episodes about 'what if the transporter makes two copies of you?' Scott Alexander / SlateScott avoids talking about Yudkowsky's ideas in detail, I used to think he saw Yudkowsky as someone who got the rubes in the door to hear the good word about race and IQ, but then they worked on *AI 2027* together. https://pivot-to-ai.com/2025/08/17/ai-doomsday-and-ai-heaven-live-forever-in-ai-god/

> I think this is a response to Yud’s teaching that a copy of you is really you It's not so much a response as it is just running with it until you hit the concepts of the soul and the godhead face first. edit: it's also mercifully short, like not even 3k words.
