The uploaded brain is a different person, a different being, a separate identity from the one that was scanned. It is conscious yes, and it is me in the sense that I expect with high probability to wake up as an upload and watch my fleshy body walk out of the scanner under its own power.
Of course I wouldn’t expect the simulation to experience the exact same things as the meat version, or expect to experience both copies at the same time. Frankly, that’s an idiotic belief; I would prefer you not bring it into the conversation in the future, as it makes me feel like you’re intentionally trolling me. I may not believe what you believe, but even I’m not that stupid.
