If you mean the paper saying it can’t be a simulation because the universe has true randomness, which can’t be created in software: we ourselves do in fact have true randomness in software, by capturing it from the environment via hardware sensors for fluctuations in temperature and such.
One of the issues of the simulation idea is that it is inherently impossible to prove or disprove. Because all the information we could have is a part of the simulation itself.
Even if there was some kind of glitch which got exposed and caused everyone to know we are in fact living in a simulation, the ones running the simulation could fix the glitch and then modify all our brains to not know it anymore, or roll back to an earlier restore point or something like that. It could even be that they have many simulations running, to study different forms of life for example. Inevitably some of the life in the simulation figures out their world isn’t real, which then invalidates further data from that simulation, so it’s turned off. Then by definition, if you are still alive you don’t know you are in a simulation.
Whilst a cool idea to base a book or movie on, it isn’t something to take seriously. It’s a self-reinforcing idea with zero evidence and no way to test, prove or disprove.
Obviously, duh. The pandas are the ones running the simulation
Yep, guess who is piloting the „birds“…
Those are just the Flock cameras everybody’s been talking about.
They actually debunked the simulation hypothesis recently
No we didn’t. That was an illusion.
