Tell me more.

And so it was interesting to see.

And that was in late 21 or early 22, probably.

So just around the time that ChatGPT came out.

So today, there are smart NPCs.

And I think...

they will get to the point where they may not know.

Now, that's not the case today.

Yep.

It does, because in any simulation, you end up with glitches.

But you also end up with an information substrate that you can't see normally, but it's driving what happens.

And so this could be driving glitches, like whether it's a deja vu or where you feel like you've actually experienced this before.

In fact, I quoted Philip K. Dick, the science fiction writer who wrote a

the books behind Blade Runner, Minority Report, The Man in the High Castle, I interviewed his wife while I was writing the first edition of this book a few years back.

And he had a speech in Metz, France in 1977, where he said, we are living in a computer-programmed reality.

And the only clue we have to it is when some variable is changed, some alteration occurs in our reality.

Now, that's become a very famous quote.

In fact, the Wachowskis, who

made The Matrix were inspired by Philip K. Dick.

But he went on, and that's the famous line, but if you read the rest of his speech, what he said next was, we would have the sense of reliving the same events, of saying the same words.
