Besides cryonics, if you can “revive” someone by figuring out the exact parameters of our universe, simulating history, and thusly finding the people who died and saving them, this changes the calculus further, as now we need to consider extending the lifespan of everyone who ever lived.
Mind uploading, besides directly increasing lifespan, could also result in copies and branches of selves. I find it extremely difficult to reason about the utility of having N copies of myself.
It’s unclear to me if this possible, but there’s at least uncertainty for me here, when we talk about superintelligence.
