You die. They scan and upload your brain to the fancy simulation in the sky.
Would your experience be a continual you - as in you die and wake up in a new digital environment - or does your experience end, and the thing in the fancy simulation is a new thing entirely?

Continual for all intents and purposes / discrete in the same way that sleeping breaks continuity, or that the present self is different even from moment to moment

The simulation experiences it as continuous.
I still die.
Fun fact: this same thing basically happens every time you go to sleep.

I die. But the thing in the sky would be totally convinced that it’s me, and always has been

God, I spent too long on the Optimalverse forums for this. Everybody should just read this fic and go home.

Yeah, that was a fun read for me. If you could toggle a few switches in your brain and be happy/fulfilled, or take drugs the rest of your life to achieve a less optimal effect, which would you choose?

I die. But the new me in the fancy simulation would experience it as a continual me.
