Would it mean the threshold of mind uploading is met if the machine portion is greater than the biological side?
What will it look like when the machine side gradually overtakes and completely replaces the biological side? I suspect the person will continue to maintain continuity of consciousness.

China added as much solar PV capacity (256 GW) in just the first half of this year as the US installed in all of its solar history.
China's speed of adding new capacity was already 14 times higher than that in the US, and China is speeding up while the US is slowing down.
