The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Like today, Sam Altman just announced OpenAI is getting $100 billion from a video.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

I saw that.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Why?

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Because they don't have enough compute and they just want to, again, use the dumb brute force method, which is they just want to add more hardware.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

But in computer science, the way you should really do it is look for better algorithms so that they use less compute.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Yeah, they're probably doing that too.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

It takes time.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

It takes time.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

There's a short term.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Short term, the only thing they can do...

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Right, right.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

But then you've got other guys trying to figure out these.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Because remember, their current models are based on research that was done five, ten years ago.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

I mean, a lot of this was in Google Research Labs.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

You know, back in the day, they just hadn't implemented it fully.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

No, no, that's a great question.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

And so, you know, in the past, we had what were called dumb NPCs.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

Right.

The Jordan Harbinger Show
1239: Rizwan Virk | The Real Mysteries of the Simulation Hypothesis

They were just basic NPCs that you could interact with.

If you've ever played like an old video game from I was an investor in a company called Telltale Games years ago, and they used to create like a Game of Thrones and a Walking Dead game.
