Would you transfer your consciousness to a robot for immortality? (kbin.social)

I wouldn't. Immortality sounds miserable to me.

Immortality? Probably not. Transfer? Probably also no.

Yes, if it were just my brain in a resilient robot body that can take care of my brain. Particularly with nerve connection (though contextual) and being able to exist in different forms easily (different sizes/environments, buildings, digital presence). Minisub or anything in space sounds like a fun time.

VR head-space too, particularly as a personal thing for down-time (use computer, practice skills, AI personality consultation), not a digital-real-estate thing.

If it were an option (no problem of money/law) I'd sign up for cryonics testing. Though I'd definitely want an anti-dystopia contract (hopefully with some science+pro-people+pro-environment institution) and probably wouldn't want my brain to be revived in USA.
