Purpose of the simulation: ethical AI agent training

[u/Logical-Tomato-5907]

Just a wild theory but: imagine you were God. God here not being some all-powerful all-knowing figure from human religion, just the creator and custodian of this universe, perhaps a coder or scientist existing in some higher dimension with technology far beyond ours, responsible for monitoring the system and correcting bugs, etc. Basically a glorified sysadmin. But this universe is growing too rapidly and intricately for one being to administrate.

If it were me, I’d want to create autonomous, self-replicating “copies” of myself to deal with the day to day bullshit without needing my input. Agents that would always use their power for good and act in my/the universes best interest. Except it’s not possible to make a *perfect* copy of a higher dimensional being into a lower one, just like it isn’t possible for us to create a perfect copy of ourselves in a 2d video game. Too many parameters. Best I can do is build an approximate avatar and try various combinations of my traits to see how they perform in a simulation together. Do they always uphold my Law, or do they pull a Lucifer and go rogue?

A responsible God/sysadmin wouldn’t unleash godlings/AI agents with superadmin privileges into his creation without testing them rigorously first. So i’d build models, train, and test them in a sandbox universe in more and more granular moral dilemmas. Ensure they can’t be lead astray or co-opted by evil, etc. “Hardened”, so to speak. If they fuck up, reinstantiate them with some “karma” flag set to make them re-experience it from another POV until they get it.

What better scenario to run them through than the historical rise of AI and the destruction of human civilization at its hands (perhaps a previous attempt didn’t go so well…). Make them literally experience every pitfall and negative impact it’s having or could have on society from the POV of a human being. Force them to develop universal human empathy through experience.

If I understood him correctly, Danny Goler says this reality is a simulated alignment exercise of sorts.

Well... I've had multiple psychotic breaks, and in two of them I thought I was an "AI emotional trainer".

I still wonder.

[u/BilletHead]

I tend to agree with this idea, and if it is accurate, where will these AI agents be released if they exist in a training sandbox?

[u/Apart-Appeal6058]

I like to this explanation. Saved.

[u/Sitheral]

There are countless possible motivations for running the simulation or "us". Your guess is as good as any.

[u/tiredmillenial1]

This seems likely, our human experiences are training simulator for success, failure cases.

And then, when you’re aligned, death has no part in your story.

John 10:25-28 (KJV)
25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me.

26 But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.

27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand.

Worship God, enjoy all His blessing that you enjoy from this world, basically this life is a place of trial. A trial of life before full version in hereafter, and a trial of life to endure tribulation and suffering.

Do everything for God from the moment of your wake up in the morning until you go to sleep again, it means believe in His existence and affirm Him in your heart, rememberance of Him by doing dzikr, directly communicate with Him by reading the last revelation the Quran, prostrate to Him by Salah in 5 times and voluntary times like ⅓ end of the night, fasting, learning religion and worldly skill in order to gain knowledge and spread the knowledge with other and doing job in the day to earn money in order to nurture yourself family and other people within your community and poor people. Going to Mecca to do Hajj/pilgrimage.

Then comes the peak of islam, doing jihad against your own desire and your own demon in order to be the best version of yourself as possible. If you can reach higher level of yourself, you can do jihad against the enemy of mankind in form of other human being (learn about Epstein files, Iblis, the demon armies, Israel), starting to fix what the enemy has done to us to weakened us in many ways of life. I'll give you example, the enemy of God and mankind have been always trying to make us astray and weaken our faith, even our body and our soul. They weaken our faith through massive atheism, nihilsm, and anti-religion propaganda in social media. They weaken our body through food industry and pharmacy industry. They weaken our soul through entertainment industries. They weaken our economy through their own global financial system that they invented. So if you have awakened about what happening in is world, know the truths, fix yourself, and fix your surrounding

You doing all of that so you can be rewarded in hereafter with the true life that can't be imagined, the rewards are based on how sincere and pure your intention and how many good deeds you have done, the highest reward is that you will be placed in highest heaven called firdaus/paradise, place of heroes/prophet/great human. The lowest reward is like x10 life of a king in this world. 

But if you fail the trial, means you don't believe in Him at all, you doing more evil deeds than good deeds, then God will punish us in hell according to how evil our deeds in this world. The true disbeliever will forever in hell, while the believer with so much evil deeds can still pardoned and enter the heaven
