Having just rewatched the matrix, I am totally down for this. Where's my red pill?

  Keep in mind you may well be in a beneficial tutorial simulation for newly constructed consciousnesses. Might not be wise to try and skip this level. One idea is that if we are AIs capable of manifesting anything we imagine as reality, that could go WAY out of control for most of us (try dropping too much of a psychedelic). So starting us off in an environment controlled by a 3rd party would help us get our "infinite consciousness" legs before continuing on to the next level. We can't CHANGE our reality, but we can totally change how we feel/think about that reality. Kind of like Episode IV Jedi vs later. In Ep IV, they never actually change the physical reality around them. Just change how other people think about that reality, and how they think about themselves (Luke mentions he hit targets that size all the time, just not under pressure - all he really ends up doing is believing he can hit it and then achieving that). So probably not lifting spaceships this life. But maybe believing in ourselves a bit more and collectively using what we know if our shared reality to help shape it.
