No, its only you if you are conscious in both worlds and there is a link. If someone completely killed my consciousness, no living cells, and then brought 'me' back years later after rotting in a grave, I'd still be dead. It needs to be a ship of theseus situation. A continual process.
Its not spirit, its electrical impulses in your head. They have never, ever, once stopped while you have existed. Even after you experience body death, you can have electrical impulses firing in your head for a while. Its possible to mechanically make you live after experiencing brain death, but you're gone and dead even if some nerves are firing. If this god-computer could transfer electrical impulses from your current head to the hell dimension and they are able to communicate while that is happening, then yes, they would both be you. But that is absurd and you would be experiencing hell right now.
Its continuity of consciousness. Like, I don't know how to explain it to you, but if they make an exact copy, that isnt you. Its a copy. A different session. A new set of instructions on RAM. It doesn't matter how accurate the simulation is, it doesn't transfer your life and consciousness. I'm pretty done explaining this, its just wrong on a biological level to think otherwise. You have to be in both spots at the same time, essentially, for the 'teleporter' to not kill you. Which is how its explain in Star Trek, for the record.
the copy is not you. If it didn't vaporise the original then there wouldn't be two yous. there would be one you with continuity of experience and one copy. This isn't a ship of theseus argument as I can lose an arm and still be me I am not arguing that my cells contain my personage but that my personage also isn't contained in their exact formulation
As for the dungeon vs vaporisation argument it seems to not understand dying as a potential consequence of a situation as being vaporised is just a fancy word here for killed, the version of you which walked in to the room would be killed and that would be the end of them
continuity of experience is not the relevant factor here clearly there is some animating factor of a person that is unreproducible or we would be able to construct a person/bring a corpse to life. This factor would be snuffed out in the person who walks in the room and I personally think it would be impossible to create a living copy out of cells. A human being is not fungible for another human in the way 7 is for 7
creating a copy does not affect the original just as destroying the original does not destroy the copy this implies that they are separate beings and therefore there is no continuity of conciousness despite continuity of perceived experience.
a person existing with an exact copy made of them would not continue to have that persons experiences from then on which indicates they are different.
when you destroy a physical body the person in it dies as they need that body to sustain their life
If I crush a pen and simultaneously make a new pen I have not moved the pen
The part i think is really funny is that some godlike post singularity super intelligence would care. They re-invented Christian folk beliefs about Hell from first principles, never once stopping to question it.
love how they just combined "I Have No Mouth and Must Scream" :no-mouth-must-scream: and the fringe concept that your consciousness just jumps from clone to clone in a serial fashion (ala the faction in the game Soma) and made a religion

That legitimately sounds like one of the stupidest things I've ever heard, how can anyone be dumb enough to believe it?

Just a few days ago, Hexbear was upvoting comments about how bad "euphoric atheists" were, but then it also goes and upvotes this.
Absolutely. You have to be very smart and learned to be that kind of misguided.
Multiple of them had mental breakdowns as we had to ban talking about it at the forums or meetings.
Yeah. Bizarre. Sorry, I dont care if my clone is punished a billion times over.
that's like threatening a voodoo doll but with no belief the doll's suffering does anything but look like an effigy of the person suffering
or threatening someone that you will draw a picture of them in hell

It's not "just wrong on a biological level" - it really depends on your understanding of consciousness and there isn't exactly a consensus.

If they were right, and I am currently one of those eternally tortured simulations, it's not the worst. Not great, but like
It would explain /gestures broadly at everything

Please tell me this is just an elaborate LARP and one large, community made, sci-fi fictional universe ala SCP. This is just too insane.
I think one guy had to go to therepy it disturbed him so bad.
If it helps I follow the guy that made that up on twitter and he is a crypto bro now.
