If millions of humans are uploaded, they won't remain recognisably
'human' for very long.

Think about it -
They would no longer be bound by the limitations of biological bodies
and they would have enhanced capabilities such as faster processing
speeds, increased memory capacity, and would be interconnected within
a networked system to form a transcendent collective intelligence.

It could become a god, or it could just go insane.  C'est la vie!
