Agreed although presumably our hypothetical simulators have sysadmins and could simply ratchet up the fidelity around anyone who is looking.

- mistercow 13y agoYeah, there are a number of ways that it could be thwarted. Any civilization that can achieve this kind of universe simulation would probably also have solved general AI, so the "heuristics" we're trying to fool may in fact be an intelligence far more clever than ourselves. But evidence is never perfect.
- jamesaguilar 13y agoActually in a universe where time doesn't necessarily flow forward, evidence could be perfect. They could just delete branches where the simulation is discovered and revert back to the point where the bit leading to the discovery was made. But I see what you are trying to say.
