Roman Yampolskiy: we are almost certainly in a simulation, which is supported by the unlikelihood of living at the most interesting time in the history of the Universe, and AI superintelligence may help us hack and escape the simulation

Source:

Funny: every sentient being has the tendency to think that they live in the most interesting of the times. Which happens to be true: the times in which they don't exist must be very boring to them.

The creation of artificial intelligence is objectively interesting and a watershed moment in the history of the universe

If there is a most-interesting time in the history of humans, that humans live during that time is not evidence of those humans being in a simulation.

It depends how you classify evidence

need some of what he's on

It's called Wonder

If we were actually living in a simulation, there would not be any way for us to escape it--not even through death.

The source code for your mind could be implemented in base reality, nothing stopping that in principle

ah here we are again with the "we are in a simulation because of how damn interesting everything is right now, and it's just so unlikely that anything could be this interesting." its just such a feeble argument, its not even an argument
