If you could split yourself into a copy of yourself, how many copies would you make to satisfy all your wishes?
You can regularly sync your memories with your copies (either one way or both ways)

Interesting idea but I would utterly hate a person like me.
The old saying about "you hate in others what reminds you of yourself" feels like it was written for me!
I really need someone to contrast my personality. I'd kick clone out within minutes.

Your clone is only a copy of you at first, the more it experiences, the more different it becomes. That's going to cause issues eventually. They may even start working against you.
The solution is The Prestige.
The clone only exists long enough to complete a task or fulfill a purpose, but then one of us (and we don't know which) is gonna get dropped through a trap door and drowned when we're done.
You just described a meseeks box
Yeah but the person pressing the button isn't cloning themselves, and the meeseeks just wanna help and then die. Your clone is you, and may start getting...ideas if they hang around too long.
I was going to make a joke about how meeseeks want to die so it isn't that bad, but some people may be into that.
I disagree. The comment says you can Sync up memories. That means those memories and experiences would happen to both people once Synced.
If there was no Syncing then I fully agree.
Everyone has horrific qualities about them, but everyone has redeeming qualities too. I'm sure you and your clone would fight, but I can imagine you would get a lot done too
One me gets basically nothing done. I feel like a second me is just gonna be used to play all the coop games my friends don't play and we're gonna achieve even less somehow.
Yeah, two me’s would just amplify my indecisiveness to an unbearable level, I think we’d just explode together
Nah, that's what you think. You'd be hate fucking yourself before the end of the day
Tangentially related, but I often think about if everyone on Earth were just like me, what kind of place would it be?
