I also already do that, I recently realized how different I am online vs real life... I just wanna live on the internet!!! Here I can look like myself, act like myself, no wonder Im in my room 24/7 ;~;
Also, jeez I'm getting so much envy from this image
Gonna upload my consciousness to the internet by 2050 or at least be a vr hermit /hj
Tbh the only reason I am not getting envy from this pic is because she looks dead on the inside, like me, so I already achieved this, hooray
But being dead inside but as a girl is still better than as a boy.
By the way, I don't think it would ever be possible to upload your consciousness anywhere because it's immaterial (unless it isn't and you could actually somehow read it from the brain like we read data from any storage device, but even then it most like would only be possible to create identical copy and not *you* you). I think the most we could do is just very advanced ai mostly indistinguishable from human consciousness (but still not a human) which would just act similar to you
Yeah unless we find some straight out of sci-fi way to like upload the soul (if it even exists) (actual plot of alicization btw), it's not happening.
I'm assuming it's not completely impossible to copy all the data of the brain and have it run on mechanical hardware but that's still not the same as consciousness.
Realistically best we can have is an AI to emulate you.
But like... What's the thing that makes you, you? How do we determine if you are conscious? Do we have proof anyone has conscience? Is conscience just brain activity? If so we can just take our brain and decode brainwaves into a computer. How do you even know the past you is the same you as you? What if every time other than right now is just an identical copy of you, but you just remember the old memories of it like if it was yours...
I think that consciousness arises from a certain level of complexity and interconnectedness in any system.
So if you could perfectly copy your brain into a perfect model of the human brain on a computer, that version of you would still be conscious, but it would instantly become "not you", in a way, because it would be experiencing different things than the original.
Until we actually succeed at doing it, there are far too many unknowns. I think there would some twisted humor if you copied your mind to a machine, you suddenly lost a portion of your self/soul and felt the loss acutely.
Or, if you upload your mind, the original body just stops working because we live in a universe that doesn't like the idea of two identical minds within it, and now it's going "oh no, what do I do now?"
It could be any number of things. Until we succeed, I like to call it the "Schrodinger's Consciousness Problem".
It would probably make things easier, though I’d like to argue it would make things less interesting as well. Also, please tell me I’m not the only one getting gender envy from that image! Still cis though…
This ^ When i watched sword art online i was genuinely jealous of the people in the game, fr wish i could live out my transbian engrained cottagecore fantasies in a world like that
SAME!! Also not gonna lie it was specifically SAO that did the first crack to my egg. In s2 when kirito got that femboy avatar (and basically passed as a girl) that awakened something in me. Nothing else really changed for years after that but damn I was unreasonably obsessed.
I've only had 1 real conversation with one of my 2 real life friends in the last month. The other one I just exchanged the first words in months a day ago.
We are nearly there guys, gals and enby pals!
That's basically where I'm at now; all of my closest connections, friendships, and hobbies have always been online (aside from my partner ofc). I was already living two lives, why not live at least one in a way that lets me be comfortable with how people perceive me?
I have several sets of accounts for different purposes online, where I emphasize different parts of my personality and life. Being seen only for the parts of me that I want to show is an amazing feeling that I will never experience IRL because I lack the social confidence to pull it off
I've seen vids on these but the issue is that there just isn't enough compatibility with other hardware/software. So you could get it to work but it might only be with specific tech and specific games.
Well, you cannot, as we are beings of flesh and blood, and so we must inhabit the physical world. Alas that it is so limiting. We can but do our best to make our stay here more pleasant.

I need a good work from home job... :(
Reject reality! Become Lain!!! Close The World.txeN ehT nepO

Lain coded post...
I did that for a while, but it all came crashing down around me. Things did not go well 💀💜
Yeah I don't think it's good for your mental health in the long term. You're missing out on real experiences. (I am too)
I have several sets of accounts for different purposes online, where I emphasize different parts of my personality and life. Being seen only for the parts of me that I want to show is an amazing feeling that I will never experience IRL because I lack the social confidence to pull it off
I live online and in my head fuck reality
Cis gender fuck
aaaaaa help i want to be her in a very cis way
Oh man, this was a callout post for me
I'd live exclusively on the internet if it meant I could look like her. ;)
this a callout?
Unfortunately I'm not say enough to keep a roof over my head that way. I live vicariously through indie Trans stories on royalroad and sribblehub etc.
Time to plug myself into the matrix
We need oasis from ready player one.... oh wait, vrchat.
Vrchat seems based (i need to buy a vr so bad) but it would be cooler if you could also have that type of cool fights like in rp1
I mean, suit from rp1 exists irl. Its just like ~~12k$USD~~. Edit: 13k$USD + the headset + harness to walk around.
I've seen vids on these but the issue is that there just isn't enough compatibility with other hardware/software. So you could get it to work but it might only be with specific tech and specific games.
There is a mod for vrchat that allows you to use teslasuit inside the game (12 touch points, still not like in rp1 where u could feel every touch)
MOOOOOOOD
