    They all believe they can become immortal by uploading their brain into a computer. They’re not sound of mind.

      What they fail to understand is that doing so would create the worst prison ever created for any person “uploaded”.

        There’s that, but there’s one other little tidbit.

        “The hell? Why didn’t I transfer?”

        “You did transfer. You’re in digital heaven right now.”

        “No I’m not. I’m still here in the upload room!”

        “One of you is still here, yes. That issue will be fixed momentarily.”

        “What? I demand that you-”

        They assume they’d be put on multiple immortal robots like Ultron, but that’s not what would happen, and even if it did people could just destroy the robot. Assuming that was even remotely possible, people would literally copy the consciousness of whatever billionaire they hated most to torture them in the funniest ways possible, like a Tumblr user making them sort their extremely raunchy fanfics, or making them read fetish material (and not even the tame ones) out loud, or shoving them in a robot made for only one task (“what is my purpose” “you pass the butter” type stuff), or editing their code to make them glitch out in terrible ways…
