The number of possible people is finite, because of various bounds in physics, assuming hard materialism. Although the bounds for currently existing humans are much smaller than the bound for future AI ''persons''
@jacksonpolack Who says they're living in a universe with the same laws of physics as ours? Obviously, they must have different physics to allow continuum many people to be tied to a track. This requires either that people can take up zero volume, or that infinitely many people can take up the same volume, or that the topology of space is different from our universe.
