You're discussing simulation. There's a distinction: we can expect a 
simulation would take a lot of computer power, solely to create an 
entity which works the same as that which it simulates. I've always thought
of uploading as an attempt to create an improvement or upgrade.

AS anyone who knows my opinions will know, I think either or both of these
have very great problems with implementation, so great that their worth
may be impugned on that ground alone. But we shall have to see how it all
turns out.
