What do you guys think about the simulation hypothesis by Nick Bostrom? Is it a bunch of bullshit or could life as we know it actually be a fucking computer program?

Nah, it's just a dimension. We're kinda-sorta 'locked' in. The door's open, but there's not a way to it, yet.
We're working out the math now.

Look at the structures around you. Totally impossible for a human being to actually create.

Who cares what it's called. We're still stuck inside it and the implications are the same.

The ultimate implication of the simulation hypothesis is that everyone is simply manifestation of a single intelligence, and that individual identity is a simultaneously both true and false. It's only if you have your own Sol/Soul upon your creation, that true individual identity in a shared reality is possible.

What better way is there for an AI to understand the human condition than to live the life of a human being.... or billions of humans..... or an entire human civilization from birth to singularity.

>Or to repeat the process with "seedings" every time the civilization reaches the "singularity" in an infinitely branching tree?

Well like a computer program, reality exists and is governed by a set of rules and limitations. We have gravity, molecular bonds, chemical reactions, magnetism, etc etc. The question you pose could also be asked as:
>Did something create the universe?

Simply put, the answer is yes. In our universe and the rules it obeys dictate that you cannot get something from nothing. So with that basic fundamental thought in mind, scientist, whether they agree it was the Big Bang or not, believe that everything in our existence came from a single point.

Everything down to smallest scale possible is nothing more than energies and a set of rules which dictates how these energies interact with each other to create anything and everything.

So in some way or another yes, this is a simulation when looking at the bigger picture. It doesn't mean that we live inside of a computer program, but does mean that we are living in a lower form of existence creating from a higher one which set the rules for how ours behaves. I believe this simple because for something to come from nothing, it must be conceived in a higher form of existence.

Philosophically, this is called a divine intelligence. Scientifically, this is called an alternate reality. A reality in which a set of rules or intelligence was created, or was always there, and gave birth to another reality to manifest it's will in what we now call our universe.

A logical Assumption, but still an assumption.

>In our universe and the rules it obeys dictate that you cannot get something from nothing.

Personally I think both the atheists and buddhists are right, in that the ultimate reality / God is actually Emptyness, that has Consciousness and Creative Power as its only attributes. This Nothingness looked at itself, and voila there's Kether, the One as an Object, as opposed to God-Nothingness as the One as the Subject.

From there it's just a matter of interlacing series of object-subject, or existance-non existance into massive amounts of binary combinations, therefore deploying Reality.

>From Nothingness came the One, from the One came the Two, which created the Three, which caused the Ten Thousand Things...

Everything is made of Consciousness / Emptyness, just it has different levels of deployment / foldings, and different levels of access to binary information. So we have a tiny bit of pure, high-level Consciousness/Emptyness acting as a Subject who handles the set of information that we can access through our body-senses-brain-other information managing systems.

>>19605734
Forgot to say, realize that any kind of Object, even Yourself as an Object, is made of qualities, which are born from limits and differentiations (otherwise everything would be the same neutral mass). That which trascends Object must therefore mean it trascends limits and also has no qualities, being necessarily Nothingness. Therefore your highest level of being, that is the Sacred Subject, is Nothingness.

How does it being electric prove it's not a simulation?
>>
>>19603312
Well there are two cases to look at:
1) We are somehow in the original universe. That means either we die out or we decide to ban universe simulation. Third option in that case would be us being insanely lucky. If in the future we manage to make whole historical simulations it would be more likely we are in one rather than not.
2) We are in the simulation. Fun part: parent world doesn't have to follow same physics. Which means if it is possible we might bump into lowest discrete laws of physics to 'prove' it. For example, Plank length might be just minimum resolution and light speed time dilation might literally be universe lagging from the strain of the speed. Particle wave duality might be simplified math drawn over with physical simulation when observed. Bonus point is that it would guarantee that there is a God

this is a simulation thread. - thus expect the hanz in it.

There is no simulation.

of course it COULD....if it is I don't know..you won't know, nobody knows for sure...everythings possible as long as no """"god""""" comes up and spits some truth...(which he won't..)

So we are stuck in this pile of poo we call human existence.
>>
>>19603319
source? Any evidence? Or are you just telling what someone else told you, that someone else told him, who got told by someone else ..(most probably on 4chan) and so on?

Why do people never give any evidence, nor source for their "this may sound like some tremendous, bombastic claims, by some new-agey, but really...quantum physics is tellin us"-claims?
>>
>>19603628
thats not what he means..the wood and so on was already there...they just put together whats already there in to a specific form that we happen to call "a house"....we can't create anything thats not here...maybe children may be such thing but even then..the sperm was in your nuts all the time, so it was already there...

You can't "add" anything to this world/reality
