#35481 — The simulation hypothesis

The more I play with AI models, the more I wonder
what it would take to simulate reality.

When I'm gaming (usually Elite Dangerous), I'm immersed
in the environment, much like a person can lose themselves
in a book.  Then I come back to "reality".

Are people so immersed in this world that they don't remember who
they are?

File under: budding artist's childish musings.

I used to get that way with video games.  Probably the last one was 
Ascendancy.  Then the critics dogged it so hard it pulled the place mat 
out from under my falling key.

Wow, an answer to my post dated:

There's a guy that gave a google talk that used polarized
filters to show weirdness with quantum indeterminancy, and
figured that the answers to spooky quantim mechanical behavior
could be found in information theory.  At one point he says,
"I think we're living in a simulation."

There was a bit of scoffing and disbelief, but he does show
evidence for it.

Pardon me, I'm just being impersonally rude in order that some of the 
oldbies might show themselves like the cockroaches THEY ARE from out of 
the woodwork.

Science already proved we're not in a simulation.  Science doesn't make 
mistakes it only changes its mind.  In ten years they may decide we're 
in a simulation, nothing wrong with that, SCIENCE.
