So how does Apple navigate the Singularity? Google has more projects directed at it, some explicitly like Calico. Perhaps I'll walk into the Google uploader and drop off my Apple watch and phone.
Probably they navigate it by making products people pay large amounts of money for, while others wait for a thing some guy wrote in a book was gonna happen one day.
Apple's Singularity uploader will have a more user friendly interface and "it will just work". Although you will be limited on what compression algorithm you can use (Apple will only support Apple lossless and compressed codecs) and limited in your customization options (can't change your voice module, gender identifier, username, or global age specification).
I do to. If its all data why can't some be thrown out to compress the file(s) size without damaging the consciousness? Which brings up the question of how much data can be discarded before it changes the emotional or personality DNA of the consciousness. Then I wonder how much of our personality is in the data and how much of it is in our corporeal body, which we would lose by uploading our mind.

Isn't the singularity definitionally impossible to prepare for?
Nothing is true by definition.
Yes, there are in fact many things that are true through a pre-defined definition.

I find the idea of lossless versus lossy uploading of sentience amusing.
