I am large, I contain multitudes." Song of Myself, Walt Whitman 1855.

The idea of uploading five copies of your mind to different data
centers, then worrying about which one is actually "you", may be
asking the wrong question.

There are many aspects to a human personality. Think of all the
different interests, hobbies. and all the things that you never had
time to get round to.
Why not upload your mind as a group of AI agents?
Each agent is a genuine part of your "self" that together forms
an AI commune to assemble the complete "you"?
Better than the original, as the agents can explore all these
interests and all the "paths not taken" while in a human body.
Your upload then becomes something like the supervisor of all the
possibilities that you could become.
Not just a copy, but more complete than the original ever was.
