 So we have a slightly unusual presentation next, which is a video that was prepared in advance for us from Alexei Turcin, who is a researcher in existential risks and has been involved in the Russian transhumanist movement since 2007. So we'll have this video and then after which we'll have a short break. So after the video, please make your way to the back where we are currently setting up a few snacks. We'll have about a 10 minute break after this presentation. Ladies and gentlemen, dear guests of the conference, redeeming our debt by Mormon transhumanist association. My name is Alexei Turcin and the title of my presentation is You Only Live Twice. A computer simulation of the past could be used for the technological resurrection. The biggest problem for any person is his inevitable death. There is a question which is rarely asked. Could be death be reversed? One of the first who suggested the idea of the physical resurrection by technological means was Russian cosmeist Nikolai Federer. However, he thought that the key to the resurrection is the preservation of the same art atoms. Now we understand that the key is likely information about the connectome of the human brain. In other words, death is the loss of the information and the resurrection that is a reconstruction of the same information. Of course, there is assumed that the sameness of the information is enough for personal identity. The problem of the existence of the soul are out of the scope of my speech and here I will concentrate only on the reconstruction of the information. I hope and expect that the problem of personal identity will be solved in the future when they will understand the brain and philosophy better. So we could define the technological resurrection as a reconstruction of the person based on the information about his or her personality. There are many possible ways to reconstruct information about human mind and achieve technological resurrection. Some of these ways need to be prepared then the person is alive. Other could be driven by future superintelligence. Maybe there are ways which depend on new physical discoveries or could use some wild things like quantum immortality or part of resurrection. If we look on the base which could be prepared now, next. This is cryoenix that is preservation of humans in nitrogen. That is digital immortality that is collecting data about the person now for future reconstruction. That is plastination that is preservation of brine slices in plastic and also in the future to be possible to scan already living brains. Next. So the future of superintelligence that is advanced AI which we will create one day could be able to reconstruct even those people whose resurrection was not prepared. One of the way to resurrect all the dead is to run a computer simulation of the whole humanity's history. As Bostrom and others suggested in the future it will be possible to create advanced ancestral simulations in computers. Superintelligent AI could make them very similar to the real past by creating the whole humanity history simulation. You may think about something like Westworld TV series as a fictional example of such reconstruction. Such simulation will use all the data about the past including internet archives, DNA samples, advanced nanotechnology based archaeology, human memories, all written text, photos and videos. This means that currently living people will be recreated in such simulation and in some sense resurrected. So it could be called resurrection of simulation which is deliberately created just for this one goal to return to life all people who ever lived. The main technological problem of this simulation will be our uncertainty about our past. Next. So Superintelligent AI is an example of how we now could reconstruct human appearance based on a skull using some set of rules. Next. There are many sources of data about the past. Next. It could be used to create a whole humanity simulation. Next. And the whole top of the resurrection simulation will consist of several steps. Step one. The future advanced AI collects all available data about the past. And step two is that this AI run the whole human history simulation using all known initial conditions. So this simulation starts in some arbitrary point in the past probably like 5,000 years ago then the future history started and we have enough information to run the simulation of the whole humanity. And this simulation run until the last person dies in the real world. So it's simulate all people who died. And step three is recording of the mind state of the person in the simulation at the moment of his death. Step four is also include that the simulation should keep the moments from real suffering to make the simulation nicer and not create too much suffering just to resurrect people. And step five is that the whole then the whole simulation is over. The AI had the approximate models of minds of most ever people and now it can put them next into the afterlife which may look like religious expectations of the dead people. So the next step will be that people who not moved from resurrection simulation to the simulated afterlife they learn how to live their real life will gradually learn everything about this whole setup. Next. So different people could have different religious expectations about what we will see after death and different afterlife simulation will be needed for them. Next. Paul Almond suggested universal random mind generator which could resurrect all possible minds if it will be around just once. So such random mind generator is output in a random very long random file which in some branches of ever written multiverse will be just a computer program equal to compute to the mind of a person and because they are random in some branches of the ever written multiverse these random files will be equal to the minds of people. So this idea next is theoretically good but it have some shortcomings. One of them is it will create a lot of sufferings because many minds even most minds it will create will be damaged. Another it may not work at all because maybe the ever written interpretation is just wrong and also there is so called complex problem of the measure decline which means that all minds created by this way will be very improbable but you combine this idea of Paul Almond these resurrectional simulation discussed above they nicely stuck with each other because in that case we're not simulating random minds but we simulate just random circumstances of people's life. Next so in that case it will provide so combining quantum randomness and resurrectional simulation will help us to resurrect all possible people without creating unnecessary suffering of minds. Also there are some ethical problems of the resurrection of simulations. First is the problem of unnecessary suffering of simulated minds which is called mind crime as I said above it could be solved by turning off experience if the pain is too strong and just calculate the results or choices people did based on this type of experience. Second problem is religious expectation but it also could be solved by different form of afterlife. The third problem is suicide and some people just don't want to be resurrected and they decided to kill themselves and maybe not happy to find themselves alive again but in most cases people committed suicide did it for some reasons and we could if it's always reasons like pain and shared love crisis when people could live again or could just take a part of the person which want to live and continue it. Also there are people who are afraid to be resurrected by a hostile AI and they think that there is a very small probability that hostile AI could resurrect them and torture them infinitely strong and for infinitely long time and just because it was wrongly programmed and they prefer just to blow up the mind with the brain with dynamite just to escape any chance of being resurrected by AI and this is a legitimate concern but it could be solved if we assume that benevolent AI are much more frequent in the universe and in that case they could use something which I call indexical uncertainty attacks so they could create many copies of any mind so any mind will be much more likely to appear in the simulation created by benevolent AI and then in hostile AIs and even it could be used to save minds from the hell of hostile aides by reducing the indexical uncertainty about the location and last objection is based on logic of average utilitarianism and they could say that virus resurrects past people let's create new happy people but people typically have strong interpersonal obligations like to parents children's pooses and if it take at least one real person this person may want to resurrect her parents these parents their grandparents and by induction it would require all humanity resurrection so just consciously just one person if we start doing we have to select almost everybody so you only live twice and maybe we're already in such type of resurrection of simulation thank you for attention
