No, you are your consciousness. The self exists only in the story the mind tells itself, so both versions would think they are the original you.

Besides, the serialisation process is a form of quantum measurement. Depending on how coarse-grained it is, there might be no way to take a snapshot without modifying you (maybe the measurement process turns the original brain matter into soup).

They would think they are the original you, but I think the GP was saying that the original perspective would continue on the original consciousness-continuity/body/hardware.

Cloning a hard drive can produce the same data, but without any networking, there's no reason for the original machine to know anything from the perspective of the new one

I hope it will be possible to digitize my brain one neuron at a time, preserving the continuity of my consciousness.

So by sleeping and breaking your consciousness stream, you die, and a new consciousness wakes up thinking it is you. With your memories and physical makeup.
