Elon Musk's Question to AI: What's Outside The Simulation?

Elon Musk thinks we are most likely in a simulation, because we exist. If you assume any rate of improvement at all, then games will be indistinguishable from reality, or civilization will end. One of those two things will occur. A computer simulation according to Elon Musk seems to be the best explanation for how we got here without being in a simulation. According to Elon Musk there’s a billion to one chance we’re living in base reality.

There is a very good chance that we are living in a computer simulation. The computer simulation theory holds that all of reality as we know it is an artificial construct created by an advanced civilization. There is evidence that computer games are more complex and realistic every year and so it seems very likely that the future of computer logic will simulate worlds that are indistinguishable from ours.

Could this advancement of computers eventually lead to a simulated reality that is indistinguishable from our own? The answer is that we don’t know what the future of computers will be, but the fact that we are already close to producing photorealistic images in real time indicates that things are moving in that direction.

Complete immersion in a virtual world is no longer a pipe dream - it is very close to being an everyday reality. The next step is that we will place our brains into a computer simulation where we can sense, experience, and interact completely with our world.

But if simulations exist, then so does a reality.

Let's change it like this: "If a simulated universe will ever be possible, it already is".

If this is a simulation, I hope we get a patch soon.

If you think about it, dreaming is also a simulation coming from our own minds.

Someone needs to turn disasters off. If this is SimCity Infinity.

Either way, life's a trip! Shout out to all the psychonauts exploring and expanding consciousness!!!!

With everything going on im just waiting for the zombies and 👽 so we can move on to the next level of this game

The pain, discomfort, and frustration seems so real

If we lived in a simulation, the creators of that simulation would not at all be concerned with realism or it being identical to base reality, because it doesn't have to. Our hypothetical simulated reality could be a really dumbed down version of the base reality, but since this is the ONLY reality we know, we have no way of being sure it's fake until we exit the simulation. It's like how you usually can't recognize that you're dreaming, but after you wake up, it's very obvious that it was a dream because it was extremely unrealistic.

This game is pay-to-win for many, but it really is a connect-the-dots where side quests are meant to eat throught your playtime and the toughest boss fights are with your own ghost.

Can we turn down the hangover effect on this simulation please, thx

Don't let this school of thought deny you the ability to appreciate all the detail in life as we know it.

When games become photoreal in 10 years it will be impossible to deny the possibility of simulation. This is only the beginning. I predict that the fear of living in a simulation will reach mainstream consciousness when people look at games and reality side by side and see no difference.

There is a movie called, "The Thirteenth Floor" (1999), that explores the concept of virtual realities creating other virtual realities. Cool, trippy film, way ahead of its time, so to speak.
