No, that is not what I am asking, for it is so broad that answers to that
mostly fail to answer my question.

My question might be a subset of that, focused on whether uploading would
change individuality and competitiveness, and specifically whether merely
being on the same computer would necessarily mean that uploads would share
their goals and work together.  For all the other changes that uploading
might bring, I don't see that particular one as a given.
