You can regularly sync your memories with your copies (either one way or both ways)

I think I would just need one. We'd have to work in opposing shifts to get my billion Euro idea out the door in a more reasonable time frame than the one I have currently been working in.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

that seems fair. One could implement the backend, and the other the front end, and still share one mind at the end of the day

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

At least 3 total. One to be a stay at home parent, one to do my day job, and one to do my side hustle. Possibly another to just learn things.

My copies would just unionize.

Hundreds. Thousands. Probably not more than a few hundred million

If we could sync memories, I could do everything at once. I could do anything each day. I could learn everything, I could do everything. My sense of self is flexible enough to see my clones as me... In fact I've had existential breakdowns over only having the one body. We'd be a single person from day one, hell my morality is based on "if the world was made up of only copies of me, would it be a better place".

I'd start with a dozen, then scale up as I get more jobs (I could handle 12x my food bill for a while, I mostly eat beans and rice already). I'd rotate between jobs and time the memory syncs to give myself work-life balance.

So my answer is basically "how many can I get?"

So long as I also get the skills, and experience from the copy, I'd want a single copy that goes to college for me.

A lot. It would be quite a few just to fully get into the hobbies I have, and quite a lot more to pursue all the things I'd like to learn.

Double digits or triple digits?

Several regiments, plus casualty replacement

We're all copies of each other and memory sync isn't that far away. But it comes with ads.

Double the current world population.

In double digits at the very least. I need to work more and we'd peer pressure each other into working.

I'd like helping hands in a few of my hobbies and we'd build bigger things made to scale if there were a lot of us.
