drones that are indistinguishable: eh its okay

drones that retain at least one trait of the original person: HELL YEAH

@Loosf @toydrgn oh my god yes

"oops naughty human gets forcefully dronified to serve our needs" is meh

"you have to really fight to do this because it's made difficult by powerful people who don't want people to be able to choose their form, but you do it anyways because you want it that badly" is good (and what i'm working on, story-wise, though it's not really dronification, moreso robot conversion)

@Beancattee @Loosf drones that are indistinguishable but with the old personality stored in backup

@Loosf I basically agree. Consciousness however seated in physical reality is part of physical reality and linear time in a way that a computer program is not. It is impossible to copy and reduce to digital or analog information alone, only mutate through linear time.

So, it the same thing at all if there is this continuity break - the individual atoms don't matter. The average residence time of hydrogen atoms in an organic body is about a month, they swap with those in water and leave one by one. It is the continuity in terms of structured, evolving processes that just happens to be seated in matter that counts and the boundaries between 'oneself' and 'te rest of the universe' is not a hard and fast kone., only an approximation.
