<< You know that Russians invented everything.
I already wrote that I was taught about growth rate achieving infinity by
2030
in about 1970.
Now I am looking at a website on "Settleretics" giving a history of works on
mind uploads, starting with a thesis of theoretical possibility of
immortality via
uploading, suggested by Glushkov in 1978. Also, various principles for
uploads,
calculations of parameters, suggestions of global networked connections of
uploads,
references to many (unfortunately, offline) works, and mentions of extropians
who,
the author laments, don't know about Russian research. Well, it looks like
Russians
didn't do much to correct this situation...
I'll try to get it translated. (Anybody interested in funding translation
work?)
Meanwhile, those of us who can read Russian, may look at the page directly:

There are automatic web page translation programs available, and probably at least shareware. Try some searches at these sites.
