Musk & Metaverse . . . "Simulation of a Simulation"?
Include nature in the simulation?
Metaverse … “Simulation of a Simulation”?
Musk: “What’s outside the simulation?”
Musk said that he’s talked and thought about this question so many times now that he and is brother put it on a list of “banned questions if we were ever in a hot tub” :) (interview)
Stay open-minded as you watch this. Musk is keying on Nick Bostrom’s work at Oxford University.

Interviewer: When maybe you or somebody else creates an AGI [Artificial General Intelligence] system and you get to ask her one question, what would that question be?

Musk: … what’s outside the simulation?
--- “I agree there is at least a possibility this is a ‘simulation’. Doesn’t bother me if it proves true. Simulations aren’t run in automata where all answers and variables are known. Curiously its even supportive of the notion of free-will. A spiritual training program for eternal beings? How cool would that be to learn?”- Jed Anderson
Human’s Simulation
—The Metaverse
---“If the universe is a simulation … God didn’t leave nature out … and we shouldn’t either.”
- Jed Anderson, EnviroAI
What happens to nature in human’s simulation?
Come join us in including nature as a component of the metaverse.
