Are We Living In Simulation? . . . #podcasts #thediaryofaceo #simulation #ai #virl

- You think this is a simulation? - I'm pretty sure we are, in a simulation, yeah. - For someone that isn't familiar with the simulation arguments, what are the first principles here that convince you that we are currently living in a simulation? - So, you need certain technologies to make it happen. If you believe we can create human level AI, and you believe we can create virtual reality as good as this in terms of resolution, haptics, whatever properties it has, then I commit right now, the moment this is affordable, I'm gonna run billions of simulations of this exact moment, making sure you are statistically in one. - Say that last part again, you can run, you can run. - I'm gonna commit right now, when it's very affordable, like 10 bucks a month to run it. I'm gonna run a billion simulations of this interview. - Why? - Because statistically that means you are in one right now. The chances of you being in the real one is one in a billion. - Okay, so to make sure I'm clear on this. - It's a retroactive placement? - Yeah, so the minute it's affordable, then you can run billions of them, and they would feel, and it appears to be exactly like this interview right now. - So assuming the AI has internal state's experience as qualia, some people argue that they don't, some say they already have it, that's a separate philosophical question. But if we can simulate this,
