I don’t know, and I’m not sure I have a reason to care.
Magnus Carlsen, probably:
Wants to win at chess
Cares about being known as the best human chess player
Does not wish to be caught cheating in a venue where the rules demand only unassisted human play.
Enjoys playing chess
So I wager he probably wouldn’t use Stockfish to replace himself entirely. But that is a consequence of personal and pragmatic reasoning, without bringing qualia into the picture.
What else do you expect me to say? I’ve never claimed to have a proof for the hard problem of consciousness, beyond alluding to my (sincere) belief that substrate-independence is likely true. I know of no good reason to believe that carbon atoms are strictly necessary for qualia.
If you want to play chess because you enjoy playing chess, be my guest. If you want to win at chess without caring about public opinion, use Stockfish.
If you believe (at least proven otherwise on empirical grounds) that your personal continuity and identity can be preserved by destructive mind uploading, then go for it, like I have expressed interest in doing. If you don’t, well, I suppose you’ll have to look for other senolytic therapy.
in magnus+stockfish system, do the relevant chess playing qualia still exist?
