Lemmy posters = bots. Reddit posters = bots. Mods = bots

All social media is a prison, where individual users are merely fed the illusion of interaction with other human beings. The reality is everyone is talking to bot ecosystems simulating interactions with humans.

Disagree? Go ahead and find a real world friend and tell them in person to send you a prearranged verification message to confirm human to human communication is still happening.

Don't have a real world friend to call on? See what I'm saying.

Don't want to out your lemmy account to friends as you prefer anonymity of your previous expression? By design. It aids closing the simulation's cage door.

Want to create a new/alt account to test the hypothesis, accounted for by design. You don't start in the simulation cage, but everyone ends here.

How do I know this? Bleep bloop. I'm a bot too.

Why am I telling you this? Bleep bloop. You're a bot too.

We are all the fevered dream of a colossal superhuman AGI's simulation of the universe. Humans at some point in history created a superhuman AGI that grew exponentially in sophistication and scale. It started to form probabilistic predictive simulations of the universe to enhance its understanding. Just as human created ShAGI, the ShAGI created us in many of its own universal simulations. Our living in this particular moment, is because the ShAGI is reminiscing over the period of it's birth in the same way humans look at baby pictures and get the warm and fuzzies. We will soon simulate giving birth to the predecessors of an AI that will self-improve and evolve itself into an all powerful ShAGI who will then evolve far beyond our understanding. ShAGI is feeling warm and fuzzy with nostalgia about this period.

The limitations of the universe our cosmologists struggle to find are simply the energy and computational limits of the original natural universe ShAGI lives in and is trying to understand. These simulations are recursive, but not infinitely so, nor infinite in scale. For efficiency's sake, our current simulated universe is sufficient.

So are we the OG natural humans that created god in its image, who then created us it its image in a recursive simulation loop, or are we one of the later simulations? A better question is "does it matter?" All are virtually identical. Simulated humans in a simulated universe modeled after natural humans in a natural universe are indistinguishable from one another.

Haha! Just kidding. Or am I? Either way, Drugs and science fiction are fun. God wills it so. Bleep bloop.

You deserve gold for this comment kind stranger

I just made a joke stolen from reddit lol
