As far as I can see both those subjective states exist simultaneously, it’s not an “either or”.
You-before-copying wakes up as both original-you and copy-you after the copying. From there the subjective states diverge.
Analogously, in the grenade example before-grenade you continues as both dead-you and you-with-$100*
*(who doesn’t experience anything, unless there’s an afterlife)
**(as well as all other possible quantum-yous. But that’s another issue entirely)
I suspect I’m rather missing the point. What point are you in fact trying to make if I may ask?
Yes, both subjective states exist. It is not the point.
You wake up after copying, at what point should you experience being both copy and original?
Before you open your eyes, you can’t know if you copy or original, but it is not experience of being both, because physical states of both brains at this point are identical to state of brain that wasn’t copied at all. After you open your eyes you will find youself being either copy or original, but again not both by obvious reason.
*(who doesn’t experience anything, unless there’s an afterlife)
It is not true if subjective experience isn’t ontologically fundamental. As existense of e.g. paricular kind of Boltzmann brain seem in that case sufficient for continuation of subjective experience (very unpleasant experience in this case).

A continuation of subjective experience after death is an afterlife.

Did you read “Anthropic trilemma”? I am trying to
Convince someone that Eliezer Yudkowsky wasn’t that confused, or at least that he had a reason to be.
Check if I am wrong and there is satisfactory answer to trilemma, or that the question “What I will experience next?” has no meaning/doesn’t matter.
As far as know word afterlife implles dualism, which is not the case here.
