We're already living in VR. Each of us are just threads running on the Universe VM. All we need to do is find a use after free bug in reality, and we'll be able to go wherever we want.
- brendonjohn 10y agoUsing what humans have learnt from developing software as an analogy for how the universe operates is fine until you start expecting human-type exploits to also be present in the rules of physics. At that point you're basically hammering a square peg into a round hole that may not exist, expecting the analogy to hold true.
