    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.

    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.

    They have a trick: every time you sleep, they reboot to avoid memory leaks.

    It also allows them to optimize in the background.

      Also supported by a lot of resource friendly NPC without extra brainactivity.

    Imagine talking about simulation theory with that much certainty.

    the universe disappears

    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.

    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…

    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.

              Oh yeah I wasn’t really confused, I just meant to make the point that simulation theory != Matrix. Matrix is A simulation, but simulation theory doesn’t necessitate that we all have real bodies in a “real world”. In fact, I think the matrix version of the simulation is less likely, as it would be more complex to achieve, at least in our reality. In simulation theory, if the simulation stops and is deleted, there may well be literally nothing left of us. That’s not a trans allegory, that’s an existential crisis

                So you feined confusion in order to set someone else up to make you look smarter than they are.

                Interesting choice. Much to analyze there.

          I know that The Matrix is a trans allegory but simulation theory isn’t necessarily the same as being imprisoned in a simulation. It means we might not exist at all. Simulation goes away, we go away. Or maybe it’s like The Matrix and we’re all trans eggs. There’s no way to know which version it is or how many people are real vs simulated.

    Well, have you considered that perhaps that’s the point?

    In the beginning was the Creation of the Universe. This has made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
