Interesting. In another 300-500 years, I am pretty sure we will start simulating sensory experience and ultimately the past. I am not sure if I am a toy simulation of the past from the future, right now.

Think about this: what is the only generation that lives in times when massive recording, storage and communication is possible, but was not yet influenced by AI? Ours. When AI will want to simulate a "natural" human society, it has only us as templates to train its humanGAN on. Even our past comments on reddit and Twitter have been used many times to train dialogue systems - we're being uploaded with each post we make.

I am resigned to the notion that everything is up for grabs. > I am not sure if I am a toy simulation We need "reality discriminants". The trippy thing is if they could exist and their output is not necessarily boolean. There would be a threshold point at which beings can exist along the simulated-real spectrum, were by they can understand the output of the "reality discriminants", yet they are not real.
- subcosmos 9y agoThe way these GAN algorithms work is precisely by building a network that discriminates reality from fake. That's why they become so good at this!
