We're just getting basic virtual reality, augmented reality.

And AI was kind of in the future.

It was in the labs, but it hadn't really come out.

But now AI is moving so fast that I think we'll get to that point much more quickly, and certainly within the next 50 years, 100 years at the max.

But I think we're actually almost 70% of the way there in terms of all of the stages that I lay out.

Now,

You don't need all of those stages, but I lay them out so that you can build the matrix fully, including brain-computer interfaces where you can go in and you would be embedded within it and you would completely forget.

So that's one of the ones that we're starting with, but we haven't mastered yet.

But AI has moved so fast.

It was actually stage nine out of 10 stages when I first started thinking about this.

It's actually one of the ones that's moved faster than stage seven and eight, which are all about not just reading thoughts, but implanting memories, like in science fiction films.

So that stuff is going to take a while.

So I don't think it's like next year.

But I do think within a few decades, certainly within 100 years, we'll be there.

But I think probably even within 50 years.

Wow.

So we don't need a 1 million years technology advance to build something like this.

It's 100 years, 50 years, we'll definitely be there.

Possibly, yes.

So when Bostrom laid out a simulation argument, he had three possibilities.
