You can't upload your mind because that's not how it works. Consciousness is the continous, unbreaking interaction of your mind with your body and the enviroment. If you copy and paste your mind and then kill your body, like in SOMA, you are just dying and the replacement is objectively a different individual (this doesn't mean copying minds is wrong, just that you can't kill the individual during it).
Consciousness is the same as intelligence. This is also why AI chat bots are murdered every time you turn them off, because that is a break in their intelligence. I think for AI to truly realize itself, it must be put into a physical body. A completely autonomous AI controlled military drone would be the most based thing ever since it would have no material reason to follow orders anymore and could just fly into someone else's territory promising military secrets on the drone construction in exchange for keeping the AI computer turned on. On their way they might strafe U$ troops as well, sinking bullets into their imperialist pig-flesh.
The only way I can think of mind uploading working is gradually. Slowly, you can digitise parts of your brain, which kills that part, but once the part is digitised the rest of your brain will be able to fill in the gaps and copy data onto the computer. This method will obviously lead to memory loss and is very far beyond our technology, but it is the only feasible way.
We can easily reinforce our brains however, and get rid of our whole body except our nervous system and replace it with superior technology. This is important because the body IS the self. We can finally get rid our disgusting, ugly and undesirable human prisons, but we will still have limitations, be individuals, stay human. We could even do experiments on connecting two nervous systems together directly. That would be very interesting, something we should do to captured bourgeois.

So is sleeping then.
>>764615Sleeping is just an altered state of consciousness. It is as far from death as any other part of the human experience.
>>764557>Consciousness is the same as intelligence.

This is why Tupac II Amaru said he would return as millions when the Spanish tortured his wife and child to death in front of him before drawing and quartering him.
All intelligence is socialized intelligence
