We’re probably in a simulation: the 'run a billion worlds' argument explained

[00:00:00]Okay, so to make sure I'm clear on this.

[00:00:02]>> It's sort of retroactive placement.

[00:00:04]Yeah, so the minute it's affordable then you can run billions of them and they would feel and appear to be exactly like this interview right now.

[00:00:13]So, assuming the AI has internal states, experiences, qualia. Some people argue that they don't, some say they already have it. That's a separate philosophical question, but if we can simulate this, I will.

[00:00:27]Will AI take your job by 2030? Check your risk now. Free checklist based on Yan Polesky. Some people might misunderstand. You're not you're not saying that you will.

[00:00:38]You're saying that someone will. I I can also do it. I don't mind.

[00:00:43]Of course, others will do it before I get there. If I'm getting it for $10, somebody got it for $1,000. That's not the point. If you have technology, we're definitely running a lot of simulations for research, for entertainment, games, all sorts of reasons.

[00:00:59]And the number of those greatly exceeds the number of real worlds we're in.

[00:01:03]Look at all the video games kids are playing. Every kid plays 10 different games. You know, billion kids in the world.
