Needing to destroy books when uploading them to a computer so that they are legally the same entity is an interesting precedent for human brain uploads.

I would have assumed it was fairly obvious, but in case it's not: a million-line codebase (also known as a "harness"), running at inference time, orchestrating thousands of calls to a neural network for any given task, is the exact definition of a "neurosymbolic architecture"
