Are you living in a computer simulation?

A year ago I had OpenAI GPT create a meditation sequence for communicating with the Simulators of the Simulation.<p>Weird things ensued.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;open.spotify.com&#x2F;artist&#x2F;78oONqh9wRUf2QzcpFhTCr?si=O5LTENf5Qw2vSyBLtBkQrg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;open.spotify.com&#x2F;artist&#x2F;78oONqh9wRUf2QzcpFhTCr?si=O5...</a>

I&#x27;m not but a lot of people are living in simulations of one sort or another. If your information diet is algorithmic then you are essentially living in a simulation.<p>I recommend going outside and taking a stroll around your neighborhood if you want to see what it is like to live outside the confines of algorithmic feeds.

The abstract’s wording inspires zero confidence:<p>&gt; This paper argues that at least one of the following propositions is true: (1) (…) very likely (…) (2) (…) extremely unlikely (…) (3) (…) almost certainly (…)<p>There’s more hedging than in the royal gardens. It’s meaningless to assert that something which may or not happen is true.
