So he said the odds that you are in a simulation is basically billions to one.
Right, right.
That's what Elon Musk was quoting, the video clip of him online.
Right, exactly.
Yeah, pretty much zero.
Now, I say that it's at least 50% because at that point, you can't tell the difference, right?
I mean, there's still the chances that you are in the physical world, but you can't tell the difference.
So it's somewhere between 50.
Now, that is if...
those worlds can be created.
Now it's possible no civilization ever creates those worlds.
Why?
Because maybe it's not possible, right?
Although with the rapid progress of AI today and the rapid, if you've seen some of these latest videos, there's just this week or last week, there's a company called World Labs and you could take a picture and it would basically create this navigable video of space where like a video game, you can kind of wander around.
In the photo.
