If you had an AI twin that learned to mimic you perfectly—your speaking style, decision patterns, values—would it essentially be you? Would some part of you live on if it continued after your death? What makes you uniquely you? I guess this begs the question of what consciousness truly is.

I think even if an AI twin mimicked my decisions and values, it wouldn’t really be me. There’s something unique about the lived experience, the emotions, and consciousness that can’t just be copied. It makes me wonder, what is consciousness, then? Such a mystery!

Didn't think opening Fishbowl would have me feeling existential dread, but here we are. To answer the question, no, it wouldn't be. Even if an AI twin could mimic every one of my quirks and behaviors, it hasn't experienced all the same things I have that made me the person I am.

Forget that. I’d use it now from my home office so I could spend my work days in a Holodeck.

Can anyone let me know how easy it is to apply to a consulting firm in Dubai directly coming from London? I am currently working at a T2 strategy firm in London and my partner and I want to relocate in ~1.5 years. My firm does not have an office in Dubai whilst my partners firm does. Is it possible to apply straight (rather than moving laterally in London, waiting a few years then transferring?) interested in MBB views too. (I would have roughly 2.5 YOE by then)

Hey habibis expats! The market in Dubai is obscure when it comes to compensation and benefits. I suggest we add clarity by posting salaries, role/position and years of experience here and anything else you want to add such as benefits. I’ll start:

- Industry: tech
- Role: finance manager
- YOE: 5 years
- Comp: 270k aed/year + 5% bonus
- Other benefits: work from Europe/US 1 month/year, 30 vacation days

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?
