If given the choice to become a simulacrum would you do it?
For me i might do it as long as the positives outweighed the negatives of it tbh.

@Sir_Named Ah yes, but how much reprogramming of a consciousness can be done before you’re no longer you?! The human consciousness is very fragile. Imagine the butterfly effect that happens with time travel... one small change can lead to cascade of changes.
The matrix was also slightly different. The human consciousness in that instance never knew what real steak tasted like. Where as we do.. so the programmer would either have to match that memory exactly or alter all previous memories to match the program he creates.

@DarthValtrex Who knows? It can be a lot or a little, I'm guessing.
Your consciousness is your brain. I assume they could layer programs on top of your regular functions, and as long as they do it right, it'll seem fine. You can even lose a good chunk of your brain, and as long as you are still alive you won't immediately lose your mind. (Although you will have some problems.)
I don't program, so I don't know what a programmer can or can't do, especially one with proper access to a human brain. Couldn't they just make it so that you don't notice the difference or something? Idk.
