Imagine this: you’ve “dated” 600 people in San Fransisco without having typed a word to any of them. Instead, a busy little bot has completed the mindless ‘getting-to-know-you’ chatter on your behalf, and has told you which people you should actually get off the couch to meet.

Yeah i'm not sure if "losing continuity of consciousness means you died" is a cultural thing that can change or what. Bc people do lose continuity all the time when they black out, go under for surgery, get concussed, and so forth. Subjectively when you come to you feel like you're the same person and continuity is maintained, and people don't perceive themselves to have died. But is the mind that boots up after surgery the same mind that was shut down? It gives me the willies.

Or sleep. It can't really be avoided.
