How did you arrive at FTL? At best we'll have comms at radio transmission speed, right?

It's faster than light because your model is already there so no information has to be exchanged.

very cool concept - kind of like an offline inference model of your conscious. You could have periodic (over the wire) sync updates to your real self

But isn't it the same sort of FTL and "immortality" that a creator gets from us listening to a downloaded podcast that they prerecorded?
To quote Woody Allen:
> “I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.”
