Our universe is a simulation, and Elon Musk is the avatar of the Architect. He announced his belief in simulation theory to help ease the pain of the ultimate reveal which is forthcoming.

Explains why I don't give a shit about people. They're only simulated and not real. So the absence of feels for them is normal.

Poorly Simulated friends and family. Yup, too many people and growing. Programmers didn't plan for the extra load on the cpu. That why people are so shitty, they are set to minimum cpu usage. Thats why queers, vegans and SJW's only talk about one thing.
>>
>>768655806
I thought so at first, but when I realized how most people can do horrible shit to achieve their objectives, it occurred to me that its so easy for some to do that they must be simulated. There are other reals in this simulation, but they are difficult to identify at times.
>>
>>768656039
I'm fairly certain I'm "real" but there's no way to be sure. I could just as easily be one of the AI bots. I wish there was a foolproof way to tell.
>>
>>768653820
If a simulation is so good you can't differentiate it from something real, then there's no point wondering whether it is a simulation or not.
>>
>>768655657
Me too. I'm pretty sure its not like in the Matrix movie, and I don't think its possible to move in and out of the simulation. The entire program is running. All that exist is in the program. Time and place is just a matter of progression in the program. Everything we know or have known exists all at once in the program, and its running around us, and we only see its progression, though we can read about the past, and imagine the future.
>>
>>768656242
Well consider this, would a simulated person ever wonder if they were a simulation? If you were the programmer, would you even waste resources on such a feature? Of course not. Sims don't think about this, at least not for real. We are here in this simulation being tested IRL situations. And are being judged buy the programs creator. The real question is for what?
>>
>>768656625
>If you were the programmer, would you even waste resources on such a feature?
If I was a programmer I would only program the most fundamental aspects of reality and everything else would be the resultant higher order phenomena we experience. As such those details wouldn't need to be programmed individually, they would emerge on their own.
>>
>>768656625
>Well consider this, would a simulated person ever wonder if they were a simulation?
Probably not.

>We are here in this simulation being tested IRL situations. And are being judged buy the programs creator. The real question is for what?

Maybe we're in the military? Or we're children being evaluated for our potential? I honestly have no idea although I've had a few theories. Maybe we're just here to learn about pitfalls so we can avoid them IRL? What do you think?
>>
When real people die in this simulation, they exit the program, and they're the history log is reviewed, and they are judged. But I have no idea what then happens. I speculate that the favorable move on to better simulations, while the ones that score unfavorably are recycled back into the simulation through birth. Thus would explain why people are getting worse and worse over the generations.
>>
>>768656990
Interesting. So you think the sim / AI would be able to tax the CPU to the point of overload creating the Mandella effects we all suddenly seem to be noticing?
You may be right, and this is a failing beta test on the system.
>>
We're not even in a simulation. We're just a self-aware entity that has arisen from random fluctuations out of a state of thermodynamic equilibriam.
>>
>>768657255
A Boltzmann brain creating our own universe? Why do you believe this? I'm keeping an open mind, just curious. If this is true, we could make existence infinitely better... somehow.
>>
>>768656625
If you had the computing power to simulate to this level of granularity already then you would just let it do it's thing and not add in arbitrary restrictions.
>>
>>768657032
IDK but I don't think its about learning, because if it were they would have decided that it was a fail long ago. I really think its about evaluating character. This is something that one can't be taught or train for, its something that just is or isn't in you.
>>
>>768657352
It's the simplest explanation.
>>
>>768657227
Perhaps, or perhaps there is no CPU. The technology used to simulate our existence could be any number of years beyond or own. The simulation could be as expansive as our entire universe and include countless civilizations. There are more possibilities than people tend to realize. The only thing one can no for certain inside a simulation such as this is that the nature of their simulation is unknowable.

Still, no sense ignoring good science. This is a hypothesis with much testing ahead.
>>
>>768657371
>it isn't about learning because it would have already failed
Learning requires trial and error. Perhaps the knowledge it seeks simply isn't what you think it is.
>>
>>768657352
If the universe is infinite then there are an infinite number of Boltzmann brains. I'm probably one of those.
>>
>>768656380
yes that "program" is called universe

>>768657361
Once a program is running the CPU can't be upgraded. If a program gradually requires more of it, the program will begin to show signs of instability. Mendella moments being the latest.
A reboot will be needed at some point.
>>
>>768657371
I could see this being true.

>>768657396
>>768657513
Don't you mean We probably are? kek. There is more than one consciousness here. Is there any other reason you think this is true? Because if We are Boltzmann brains, We can do anything.
>>
>>768657513
Infinite possibility does not necessitate perfect probability. This is a common speculative mistake. Just because both 1 and 0 can exist and I list an infinite number of numbers doesn't mean there has to be a 0. Just because Boltzmann brains can exist and there is an infinite amount of space for them to doesn't mean any do, let alone that they are so common you must be one. By the same reasoning I'm probably a purple dinosaur.
>>
>>768657433
Yes, I'm sure its a quantum thing, and why we will never understand quantum physics much further than we already do
>>
>>768657608
We have virtualized environments that move between hardware seamlessly so that they can run while hardware changes are made. A technology sufficiently advanced to do this kind of simulation would be eons beyond what we can already do.

Observing the same things being tried repeatedly, with the expectation of a different result, is not learning or evolving. The observer must enjoy NASCAR " look, they're makin' another left turn!"

Found a simulated person attempting to stop us from collectively figuring this out.

>>768657752
>I'm sure its a quantum thing
Certainty is the last thing you should be feeling. Simulation theory provides no answers, it only raises new questions. People will try to explain the world away using it and one by one those explanations will fall. Simulation theory is Plato's allegory of the cave, nothing more. It hints at a truth deeper than we can perceive. It is not limited by current knowledge (like quantum mechanics). Though I think you may be close, perhaps closer than I'm giving you credit. There are things within this universe that are provably impossible to know. It's been shown that truth itself can only be defined outside a system in which it exists. And that definition requires a system greater than it, extending forever. In this way truth is impossible to know within the system you try to analyze it. Likewise it is impossible to know the details of a quantum wave function before it collapses (this has been proven mathematically in much the same way).
>>
>>768657924
>the observer
Would not have to be restricted to time as we are. Observation wouldn't be as crude as NASCAR. Moreover, the universe has been changing. Earth before and after life - pretty big change. I often think about the nature of life as it relates to entropy in order to find an answer to this question.

Well, yes, this needs no consideration. We have known this to be factual and wholly proven for quite some time. The real question is *why*? Why now? Why is the reveal forthcoming now, apparently out of nowhere? Why will simulation theory being finally acknowledged be painful...what will we find out is on the other side? How powerful is the simulation? How can we know which is the red or blue pill when we have been made colorblind?

Changes - I put that screwdriver down right there and noe its fucking gone. Never to be seen again!

>Step 2: pipe to new core
I buy a new screwdriver, and it works better than the one that disappeared.

>Step 3: enjoy upgraded CPU
More simulated people, all with one track minds. Must upgrade again (Repete step 1)
>>
>>768657996
Well said.

I’ve always considered the possibility of everything being a simulation. When there’s a lack of noise pollution you can sometimes hear a constant ringing or hum like that of machinery. And sometimes when you REALLY look at something you can see the individual pixels that make up what you’re seeing.
>>
>>768658141
I don't understand people who think about the simulation hypothesis in such a limited way. I hope you're joking. Either way, it's better than being this guy >>768658110
>>
>>768658240
I've experienced both of these. I once saw a car in front of me dissolve into pixels, that was scary. It only happened once.
>>
>>768658240

Uhh.... no. Those can both be explained scientifically within human biology and psychology.
>>
>>768658240
>tinnitus
>visual snow
Both normal, both unrelated to the simulation hypothesis.
>>
>>768658279
Joking somewhat yes. But only because of some of this spooky shit that is convienently never talked about or explained.
With that being said, UFO's may be part of this upgrading process ad well.

>>768658336
I haven’t seen anything like that but I have seen small objects just pop into existence in my peripheral vision a handful of times. It’s like it was delayed while loading in.

The physical universe is not a simulation. Consciousness and our perception of physical reality on the other hand...
>>
People think im crazy, but fell out of my simulation and had to be reincerted into this one. They are just trying to understand how we fucked it up so bad. They are ai with human like faces grafted on to their heads. I begged them to just leave me out even kill me if it came to it but they do not care for us, only that they dont make the same mistakes
>>
>>768658568
Yes I thought that was a given. The simulation would need a construct to run on, especially if you have actual people mixed into it.
>>

>they do not care for us, only that they dont make the same mistakes
Why do they care if we make the same mistakes?
>>
Simulation theory sure attracts a lot of schizophrenic behavior. Hmm
>>
>>768658569
Could the reason be this simple? A simulation teaching "what NOT to do" or what works and what don't.
>>
>>768658740
Says a simulated responce.
Nice try AI
>>
>>768658674

It does not seem to be a given in this thread.

The universe, as vast and unreachable as it is, is quite simplistic, especially toward the outer edges. Earth, and potentially other microcosms that may or may not exist, are minute pockets of complexity within the universes 13.8 billion light year span. We are extremely unique in that sense.

The way that consciousness perceives the physical reality is what is important. Doubting or debating whether or not the universe itself is a simulation is a dead end.
>>
>>768655081
Right, then what would it take to make something "real" enough to matter? What would be different in a non-simulation "reality"?
>>
>>768658822
Could be.
Could be a program to understand a civilization's distant past.
Could be a game, with judgement at death, leading to some sort of benefit/loss.
Could be the equivalent of a hyper advanced entity's dream.
Could be 1 of an infinite number of simulations meant to unravel the nature of the host's reality.
It's like I said at the end of this post: >>768657433
>There are more possibilities than people tend to realize. The only thing one can know for certain inside a simulation such as this is that the nature of their simulation is unknowable.
>>
>>768657608
but from the perspective of any minds in the simulation there would be no reboot as long as the last known state is saved. This line of thinking doesn't lead to the end of the world, it leads to a mundane sort of Last Thursdayism.
>>
>>768659270
Personally, I like to think that all of life is being experienced by one or a few consciousnesses in various states, separate but still of the same entity. Their perceptions are the feedback by which the simulation is tuned - for what outcome I'm uncertain. I do know though that life reduces entropy and creates information. The learning theory seems fairly apt.
>>
>>768659511
If we're going off the reservation, I'm rather partial to the idea of our being only a single "soul" looped over itself in time. Why? I don't know. What else would god do with his time?

I don't think I'm prepared to actually believe it, but it does have a poetic appeal.
