Yes, the consensus seems to be that running two copies of yourself in parallel doesn’t give you more measure or moral weight. But if the copies receive diferent inputs, they’ll eventually (frantic handwaving) diverge into two different people who both matter. (Maybe when we can’t retrieve Copy-A’s current state from Copy-B’s current state and the respective inputs, because information about the initial state has been destroyed?)
