AND THE SIM
Nick Bostrom EITHER Almost all civilisations
at our level of
development become
extinct before becoming
technologically mature.
OR The fraction of
technologically mature
civilisations that are
interested in creating
ancestor simulations
is almost zero.
OR You are almost certainly
living in a computer
simulation.
The
"playstation
principle"
“40 years ago we had Pong – two rectangles and a dot. That’s where we were. Now 40 years later we have photorealistic, 3D simulations with millions of people playing simultaneously and it’s getting better every year.
And soon we’ll have virtual reality...
If you assume any rate of improvement at all, then the games will become indistinguishable from reality, just indistinguishable.
It would seem to follow that the odds that we’re in ‘base reality’ is one in billions.” -- Elon Musk
"I've had so many
simulation discussions
it's crazy...
It got to the
point where every
conversation was
the AI / simulation
conversation, and my
brother and I agreed
that we would ban such
conversations if we
were ever in a hot
tub."
