AI Simulates Universe

Yeah but I got brains and guts and gizzards.. I mean, realistically you wouldn't be putting that stuff in your sim I don't think. I dunno though. Haha. Maybe they're wearing avatar suits and can see us and shit, and that's your gods right there. 

 

Yet allows gang members slicing up each other? Or any of the other numerous problems in the world today?

Doesn't make a ton sense when described like that.

That's not quite what I had in mind but I don't really know how to explain it.

 

...And even thinking about it further it falls apart, I was just attempting to entertain a far out idea. So I think the best we can do is assume that until we get upgraded "wetware" or some sort of combination with technology that our experience of reality is a representation of base reality,

 

There is no physical reference point for reality, and every religion argues over what is reality but, I suppose, you could say arguing over reality is our reality.

 

Humans are nowhere near being able to simulate consciousness, and I doubt it's even possible. Which is why I doubt we live in a simulation.

 

Humans ARE a simulation of consciousness.

 

It sounds pretty good to me, GB.

 

Oh. Humans ARE a simulation of consciousness. I take back everything I said. Good point.

 

According to all the evidence I can find, 42 is as good an explanation as any other, implying consciousness is context dependent, which is nonsense as far as modern science is concerned. In other words, modern science is about to prove there is no evidence or reason to assume people are conscious. After ten years the Game theoriest Donald Hoffman concluded, if the human mind and brain had ever remotely resembled anything like reality, we would already be extinct.

 

Well woo, I don't know what to say, as always. I don't think you can disprove the fact that people are conscious, but who knows what equations scientists will derive.

 

we may be conscious but we are not couscous

 

Assuming 42 is as good as it gets, that means modern science will never be able to prove whether our lives are random or fated, because everything should express both types of behavior. Hence, if our lives are fated as Relativity suggests, we have no free will and are not conscious, but causality itself has no apparent cause, and the statistical evidence indicates causality is a local phenomenon, and everything is self-organizing, including awareness. In other words, science can prove that we must prove to ourselves we are conscious.

 

It's self-evident that we are conscious. Asking someone to prove it is just an attempt to dodge the fact that you can't explain it.

I was going to type some random numbers but the first two I pressed were 4 and 2 so I guess Woo is correct in everything he says.
