  • Another way to look at it is as any civilisation gets sufficient technology they begin simulating entire universes, to better understand their own.

    That means we’re either the OG universe and haven’t figured out how to run simulations of that size yet (so no simulated universes exist yet), or there is some chain of universes above us who are likely also simulated until you get to the OG universe.

    Considering everything in our universe seems to follow a set of base rules (speed of light, attraction between masses, etc), I’m partial to thinking of those as essentially input variables prior to our sim being run.









  • Not having any issues understanding you, and you keep refusing to acknowledge my points.

    Let’s say we create a general AI. Let’s say it’s gone full skynet, and we’ve given it a billion years in the universe to grow, learn, expand, etc.

    It will still end at the heat death of the universe right? It will still have to navigate within the forces of nature right?

    Doesn’t sound very God like. If the moment general AI dropped, gravity changed, the wave particle duality collapsed, etc, then I’d be a believer. But general AI is merely mirroring our own brains, but with the distinct advantage of having their brain be modular and scalable.
