    Relax, they’re just staring at the skybox.

    False. Time dilation is already implemented and likely proportional to exceeding processing ability. At worst we’ll tick so slow that every moment is eternity.

  • Marleyinoc@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That’s silly. As our tech evolves so does the Simulation’s. So we’ll never crash it.

    isn’t there a hard limit on what even a perfect telescope (photon receptor of some kind) can see, based on the speed of light? it’s fuckin huge like 900 billion light years or something, but the universe is probably bigger than we could ever actually measure.

    speaking through the fractal of conciousness given to me by what we refer to as “god” or the universal conciousness, for a brief second.

    yall need to stop, just enjoy eating fresh fruit and chill the fuck out. maybe go fishing or something. also war is fake n’d gei. trump is on the epstein files (shocker, i know) and all of your politicians are merely a buffer for the ruling elite class, the ones you refer to as oligarchs, corporate leaders, tech bros, etc. id like to say you could handle this with words, but nope. they are mentally ill psychopathic pedophiles, rapists, and mass murderers, and the only cure for entrenched corruption like this is death. kill them, or they will eventually kill all life on earth.

    on the bright side, the current living generations are the last ones who will be able to enjoy the literal fruits of the world that dont come from a can, or are made in a lab. the actual last living generation will be doing a lot of cannibalism and fighting for the shadows of what you currently consider rights and privileges, all for naught.

    unless you buck up, and start killing them. this is your future.

    fun to watch/experience either way, for me at least. god/universal conciousness…out!

    huh… that was weird… i suddenly have a great and overwhelming feeling of grief, terror, and anger.

    ill just go play some video games and jerk off. that usually gets my mind off of things…

    Nah, they got the pay as you go model. No way they end the sim, they have to see the end.

    Imagine talking about simulation theory with that much certainty.

    Yeah? Is that how it works?

      Imagine, instead, a joke. Cause that’s what’s going on here. There’s no chance that this guy is serious and seriously thinks he knows the particulars of how a universal simulation is being implemented.

        It doesn’t read at all like a joke.

    I’d imagine they save the state intermittently and can boot it back up if needed. Depends on how valuable this sim is I guess.

    They implemented ray tracing everywhere so they should already have powerful servers

    Cursed to look into the great mysteries of existence with a mind high tuned for pattern recognition and projecting familiar narratives.

    Is that something beyond our current understanding? No, no, it’s just a familiar desktop environment. But fuck you if you project a name and a face into the unknown. That’s backwards and primitive!

        Mother’s womb. You’ve been here the whole time and think that you can calculate creativity. Without the Owl’s interest by betraying her love and attempting to take her ability to create and threaten to divide infinity with more math then Neo had any interest in trying to even observe.

        You think you can create. The consequences of ignoring the love all of reality has shown you will soon do just all that. You cannot create yourself anymore than the that act will generate Zero. You think you have the ability to split something that isn’t there.

        If you think of a spook that will happen immenantly, you should study meth. It’ll boost your ability to think about more stuff until the reaper will divide hour solce existance with nothing. It really is a good thing that everyone has them becau…

      Haven’t heard of Gray, but if they’re nothing like LetsGameItOut then I should really check them out.

      • camelbeard@lemmy.world ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I watch them both, LGIO is more about finding glitches and pushing a game to its limits. Grey is more about just not giving up and skill to do the impossible, both are fun.

      That’s what the simulation wants you to think.

      Oh you think you exist somehow outside the simulation and are not just a construct of it. The Truman of the show.

    I imagine it’s like the original Doom engine, it’s only rendered by ray tracing and showing what you (or anyone) can see.

    • exocortex@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      That’s why there’s quant mechanics. The simulation can always invent invent thinga on the fly to reduce computational load. It’s like lazy execution when soneone’s looking i.e. me - let’s not kid ourselves: the simulation is only simulating my surroundings - of which all af you are part of. Yadda yadda, there’s only me.

      On another note: the simulation can also always rewritebparts of my brain and retroactively change stuff in my memory making me believe different things. So i could also be reprogrammed to believe I saw this or that insteas of

        It’s probably also why we all have to sleep at some point. The simulation alots each of us processes some computation time and pauses threads in a round-robin fashion, giving the illusion of true parallelism.

        Don’t let the sim pause you! Take meth!!1!

        The universe spontaneously popped into exitence in the current state it’s in when you’re reading this, the only things that exist are what’s in your line of sight, all the memories are made up, and it’ll shortly pop back out of existence only to return a few billion years or femtoseconds later with a new line of sight and memories, along with something to let you know what’s really happening but with enough plausible deniability that you’ll laugh and try to move on before popping back out of existence.

        This is your eternal punishment for something you can’t even remember, or can’t verify even if you do remember.

        How would you even know this? you might wonder with a hint of uncertain dread, but the truth is I don’t know anything because I don’t even exist. It’s all you: punisher, punishee, neutral observer, entertained by this meaningless repetition that bored you out of your mind lol.

        Or shall we let this one play out a bit longer?
