Fellow Anons, I appear to be at a crossroads. Since before I started college I have been questioning whether to study CS or CE. I decided on CS.

Two years later and I am reconsidering my choices. After checking out the CE flowchart from my school, I realized that most of the CS classes I have taken completely fulfill the "data software systems" concentration of CE. This means that my time hasn't been totally wasted if I decide to switch since I already have one concentration completed in CE.

So, I have a few questions about CE that may change my mind:

>Does any part of CE deal with machine learning? Can I get an AI job with a CE degree?

>I love coding, but also electricity, power, energy, and control systems. Can I still be a good programmer if I switch to CE? I don't want to lose the skills I've developed in coding.

>Can CE do all CS jobs? Cyber security, white hat hacking, AI, app building, etc? How true is the statement that CE encompasses CS?

>People on here shit on CS despite the fact that it is expected to grow a shit ton with lots of new job opportunities. When I look at CE, it is hardly expecting to grow in terms of hardware engineers. If I encompass CS with CE, shouldn't I have more options? Can I do some EE jobs as well?

Thanks.

>2045 Initiative
The 2045 Initiative is a nonprofit organization that develops a network and community of researchers in the field of life extension.It was founded by Russian entrepreneur Dmitry Itskov in February 2011 with the participation of Russian specialists in the field of neural interfaces, robotics, artificial organs and systems.

The main goal of the 2045 Initiative, as stated on site, is "to create technologies enabling the transfer of an individual’s personality to a more advanced non-biological carrier, and extending life, including to the point of immortality. We devote particular attention to enabling the fullest possible dialogue between the world’s major spiritual traditions, science and society".

I would like to place myself into Transhumanism efforts.

What curricular paths can I take to do so?
Which are most needed and less needed?

not even possible. you have no clue. get your head out of your ass, kid

Pic related - So I recently came across this organization called the 2045 Initiative. Is it scientifically possible to extend one's life through the methods of avatars B and C, or is it not even remotely possible?

/sci/ what do you think of Initiative 2045? Do you think it is really possible or Itskov is just insane?

Do you believe consciousness is something that can be transferred? I personally don't, I believe a person's consciousness is tied to their brain, and while it could be replicated elsewhere, that would not be the same conscious person as the original. I would stop at Avatar B of the 2045 Avatar project, where would you stop?

Why do most entertainment mediums depict immortality as somehow bad for the humanity? Like for example a recent movie, In Time, a guy in that film said that he's been living enough and wants to die even though he had the body of a 25 year old. Why is it such an opposed idea to extend humanity's life span into eternity?

Will humanity achieve immortality in our lifetime?

What are your thoughts on the 2045 initiative?

You aren't afraid of transferring your mind into a machine, are you /sci/?

It would just be a break in your consciousness. You would go under, put to sleep by some powerful anesthetic, while your cranium is removed and hooked up to the neural links. Just a short break in your consciousness and then you're back. This exact same thing happens every time you go to sleep. You abandon your consciousness and then you come back the next day. The only thing that tells you you're the same person you were yesterday is memory. You can't prove it. Only memory.

That's how it would go. Just like going to sleep and waking up in a new body.
