Uploading Consciousness to AI

Text on the meme

“I want to live forever in AI” What people think will happen: bool uploadConsciousness(Consciousness& Conscience) { What actually happens: bool uploadConsciousness(Consciousness Conscience) {

What it means

A programming meme contrasts the fantasy of uploading a person’s consciousness into AI with the supposedly realistic result. The punchline is the missing ampersand: instead of passing consciousness by reference, the process merely passes a separate copy or unrelated value, implying that true immortality cannot be achieved.
