The paper starts from the hypothesis that we are in a simulation and asks if we can do something about it. The paper is a first step: it doesn’t aim to provide a working solution.

AI expert Dr Roman Yampolskiy explained on Diary of a CEO podcast with Steven Bartlett the reason why he's 'almost certain' ...

And what if this has already happened? In 2003, the philosopher Nick Bostrom made an ingenious argument that we might be living in a computer simulation created by a more advanced civilization.

The technological bent to what's now called the simulation hypothesis was formalized in the paper "Are we living in a computer simulation?" by Nick Bostrom in 2003.

Simulation theory is the "theoretical hypothesis" that what we perceive as reality "is actually an advanced, hyper-realistic computer simulation, possibly overseen by a higher being", said tech ...

Scientists last week published research indicating that, by current means, it would be impossible for us to live in a computer simulation. It turns out reality is natural and this is, evidently ...
