I am much more convinced now that the Simulation Argument is correct
- sercanov 1y agoyeah the whole explosion around AI made me lean more to simulation theory. it's literally happening in front of our eyes and we're a baby civilization
- Fraterkes 1y agoI’m seeing a lot of variations on this in this thread, but we have been able to render photoreal things, and do intricate physical simulations, for a long time. This is mostly impressive because it is a real-time way to generate and render big, intricate worlds. But if you believe reality is a simulation, why would these “efficient” world-generation methods convince you of anything? The tech our reality would have to be running on is still inconceivable science fiction.
- ivape 1y agobut we have been able to render photoreal things, and do intricate physical simulations, for a long time. Not like this we haven't. This is convincing because I can have any of you close your eyes and imagine a world where pink rabbits hand out parking tickets. We're a neurolink away from going from thought > to prompt > to fantasy.
- crossbody 1y agoAgree with ivape. To add: our reality does not have to be rendered in it's entirety, we'll just have very convincing and unscripted first-person view simulations. Only what you look at is getting rendered (e.g. tiny structures only get rendered when you use microscope).
- Fraterkes 1y agoI guess I should have clarified: when you talk about reality being a simulation, do you mean that we collectively live in a simulated universe, or that you personally are playing a very realistic vr game?
