The new RAM shortages confirms the simulation theory though.
Think about it, we start building more and more datacenters => the real servers running the simulation saturate their memory and whoever’s running the simulation needs to upgrade their memory => simulation computing power is artificially capped for a few “years” (a few weeks in reality for the memory upgrade to be delivered and installed)
If you mean the paper saying it can’t be a simulation because the universe has true randomness, which can’t be created in software: we ourselves do in fact have true randomness in software, by capturing it from the environment via hardware sensors for fluctuations in temperature and such.
If you mean the fact that we have true randomness, just read about how secure random number generators work, like urandom. It’s not some industry secret, they’re in every computer and likely every smartphone out there, and have been around for twenty years at least.
If we’re talking about the same thing, then afaik their whole claim is that we aren’t in a simulation, because we have true randomness which can’t be created in software. But it’s not necessary to create true randomness in software to have it in said software.
Although I haven’t read the full paper, and am going off what people wrote about it in comments.
One of the issues of the simulation idea is that it is inherently impossible to prove or disprove. Because all the information we could have is a part of the simulation itself.
Even if there was some kind of glitch which got exposed and caused everyone to know we are in fact living in a simulation, the ones running the simulation could fix the glitch and then modify all our brains to not know it anymore, or roll back to an earlier restore point or something like that. It could even be that they have many simulations running, to study different forms of life for example. Inevitably some of the life in the simulation figures out their world isn’t real, which then invalidates further data from that simulation, so it’s turned off. Then by definition, if you are still alive you don’t know you are in a simulation.
Whilst a cool idea to base a book or movie on, it isn’t something to take seriously. It’s a self-reinforcing idea with zero evidence and no way to test, prove or disprove.
Obviously, duh. The pandas are the ones running the simulation
I thought that was mice.
Yep, guess who is piloting the „birds“…
Those are just the Flock cameras everybody’s been talking about.
They actually debunked the simulation hypothesis recently

Do you have a source for this claim?
For what claim?
If you mean the fact that we have true randomness, just read about how secure random number generators work, like urandom. It’s not some industry secret, they’re in every computer and likely every smartphone out there, and have been around for twenty years at least.
That having true randomness in machines means the study is debunked?

If you haven’t read it. Why should I trust your opinion?
Then don’t trust it, what the fuck is it to me.

No we didn’t. That was an illusion.
