I've heard of neural network sims where there are unconnected neurons, but removing them breaks the functionality. So, first would come copying a mind-state, then would come altering things. Anyway, a mind-state copy could be run at a higher speed than the original wetware would allow. | |

Faster access to a memory that is actually reliable (i.e. is not constantly re-imagined by the brain it is part of, and not constantly forgetting things...) would make learning a lot faster. And that is even before this brain has a direkt link to the internet. Unfortunately, that latter would also make life a lot easier for the nastier type of game theory adepts. | |
