P-Zombies Waking Up: Uploaded minds would download themselves

This weekend I attended the Machine Consciousness Conference, “MC0001”.Some people were arguing that uploaded minds (or any digital minds) wouldn’t be conscious, but rather philosophical zombies—that is a mind that acts exactly as if it was conscious without actually being conscious. I don’t believe so, but let’s assume that was the case.In the future, if you realized that uploads were not conscious, you might want to change their substrate in order to make them conscious again. Let’s assume you were cryopreserved, and then were uploaded as your revival method. Your p-zombie would act the same way as you would, by definition, and so would also be wanting to download p-zombies / make them conscious again. Therefore your p-zombie would presumably decide to download itself back into a substrate that supports consciousness. Problem solved.(Unless you think most of the value was already destroyed by having a temporary p-zombie between the 2 conscious states.)Discuss
