Where do you think a bunch of mutually competitive uploads are headed,
if you're not part of the fray? AIs might beat them on the path to the
SI, if given a chance, but I doubt there will be much subjective
difference between them two from an outsider's point of view. (Which
probably means that it's not a good idea to play the role of a bemused
onlooker).

One or two of them might be still human (and nice) enough to yank the
bystanders into the virtual realm to prevent them from going extinct,
before zooming off to SI.
