<i>Mr Musk spoke earlier this year about the fact that he believes that the chance that we are not living in a computer simulation is "one in billions". He said that he had come to that conclusion after a chat in a hot tub, where it was pointed out that computing technology has advanced so quickly that at some point in the future it will become indistinguishable from real life – and, if it does, there’s no reason to think that it hasn’t done already and that that’s what we are currently living through.</i><p>The hubris of making such statement after a hot tub chat when no evidence exists is insane. In 1880, everyone with interest in Arctic exploration "knew" that the north pole was an open sea and would be balmy. I wonder what things we "know" today will be laughed at by our great grandchildren?
He's not the only one. As I was driving home, alone, a few days ago, I heard my brother's voice say will you pick up some In N Out on the way home. Not one minute later, he calls me and asks for a double double meal. It most definitely was not deja vu, it was a bug in the simulation's audio streaming socket, a veritable glitch in the matrix!
Yeah but why would Musk want to discover that he isn't really a billionaire, but in fact an unconscious hairless dude living in a pod of goo and wired into a giant computer?<p>Anyways he better be careful or he'll be flushed into the vast waste pit for knowing too much.<p>Hey, maybe Musk think he's "The One!"
