And there are legitimate scientists that believe that.
So what's the value in life today then?
Yeah, if this is a simulation, and if in the middle of this simulation we are about to create superintelligence, why?
But what's outside of that then when you think about it?
If you're attached to this idea, and I don't know if you're attached to this idea, but if you are attached to this idea, what's outside of this idea?
Like if this simulation, if it's paused, what is reality?
And then this is just part of this infinite cycle, which will lead to another Big Bang, which is, you know, Penrose.
Penrose things, it's just like this constant cycle of infinite Big Bangs.
But it also makes sense that...
We're so limited by our biological lifespan too because we like to think that this is so significant because we only have 100 years if we're lucky.
We think, well, why would everything – but if the universe really does start and end with an infinite number of big bangs, like what does it give a shit about this 100-year –
I'm biased Pro humans This is the last bias you still allowed to have I'm gonna keep it Well, that's your vote your role in this simulation your role in the simulation is to warn us about this thing that we're creating Yeah, there you are.
I think what you're saying earlier about this being the answer to the Fermi paradox That makes a lot of sense because
And I've tried to think about this a lot since AI started really ramping up its capability.
And I was thinking, well, if we do eventually create superintelligence and if this is this normal pattern that exists all throughout the universe, well, you probably wouldn't have visitors.
