Comment on The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim?

Why do you think everything sucks right now? The simulations ran out of resources long ago so no new ideas are created, just rehashing of already established ones. It’s why we have AI, but it can’t generate anything new or useful. It’s why we’re about to have a restart of World War 2 and The Cold War. It’s why movies that come out already are getting remade, but slightly worse than the original story.

People like to think that’s because capitalism only caters to the safe bets. But we know better! It’s really just the old Apple 2e that’s running the simulation(s) is low on resources!!

Now, where did I leave all that red string, pictures of Bigfoot and the Loc Ness monster, and thumbtacks?
