Wow.

You know, as AI has gotten...

So...

So Elon always talks about how we live in a simulation, right?

And I remember when I first heard him talk about this, I was like, ah, no, this is like, I don't believe that.

I don't believe we're in a simulation.

But as AI has gotten better and better at simulating the world, like I don't know if you've seen these AI video generation models, like Sora or VO or some of these models, but

You know, they can produce videos that are totally realistic.

Most people could not tell the difference between AI... We're seeing this, AI-generated video and real video.

And as that's happening, it's making me think more and more that...

we probably live in a simulation.

Yeah, like, it's kind of one of these things, there's no way to prove or disprove.

that you live in a simulation.

And so, but it's like, it's like, it's like any, you know, afterlife thought or religious thought, like all of these things, they're like fundamentally unprovable.

But the reason I think it's the case is I think in our lifetime, we are going to be able to create simulations of reality that will be hyper-realistic.

Like I think we are going to create the ability to, um,

simulate different versions of our world with hyper-realistic accuracy.

And that will happen over the next few decades.

And if we can, like, it's kind of like that Rick and Morty episode where if we have the ability as an intelligent race to produce, you know, millions of simulated worlds, then the likelihood is that

We're probably also the simulation of some other more intelligent or more capable species.
