growing brains in a vat would not produce identical brains, not even vaguely close. It would produce more similarity than between most brains, certainly. also, like, being a brain in a vat probably sucks big time
Sure, but I was assuming some sort of magical growth process which could make identical brains, perhaps some form of nanotech. I realize that’s a ridiculous ask and doesn’t reduce the difficulty of the problem in any way. Heck, it increases it. But that’s the only thing I could think of that would definitely produce identical (upto connectome) copies of brains with less than 5 minutes of thought.
