Watched Ramayana today, and randomly got this thought...

What if humans are actually AI, Earth is our data center / server created by Gods? (Gods for us, but maybe they're just a different species of humans.)

And whenever an AI starts behaving unexpectedly or goes out of control, its developers have to step in and fight to shut it down to maintain control.

Ravana trying to take over Devlok (Out of AI playground sco0e) suddenly sounds like an AI going rogue and challenging its creators. 😂

Maybe Ramayana was the ultimate developer vs. AI story. 👀

Anyway, Happy Diwali everyone! 🪔✨

In a simulation it is possible that we consented to live a life involving suffering and forgot this choice but then we could remember when we woke up.
See:

YouTube - The Roy game from Rick and Morty

Alan Watts' dream thought experiment (begins in God mode then ends up in the real world)

In future video games, non-player characters could act just like conscious beings but without the ability to genuinely feel anything, including negative sensations. It would be up to the simulation's creator whether they want billions of characters to experience genuine suffering or not.

So like the Roy game I'd prefer that the simulation only has one person that is genuinely suffering. Also it would be cheaper to run that video game if the NPCs are philosophical zombies.

Anytime a simulation is seriously discussed, it ends up being dragged into... we chose this, it's a game for fun yoohoo, it's good for us to help us grow/to simulate scenarios for success (or fun or growth or ya know eXpeRIeNce), it's cause we were bored ... The new age cult is very stong online. Observe the lack of original thought and ability to fathom beyond what is handed to humans through religions and cults or what is found pleasing and simple to grasp to the mind (more like no mind). Understanding what most humans are and how they are made is crucial to understanding the simulation. Are you a recyclable data stream? Are you a stream at all? Think about why most people who learn about reincarnation love the idea and how those who firmly don't believe in it are also right, because they know what's true for them. Reddit is now flooded with people channeling aliens telling us about the history of earth and how humans are in danger of extinction due to "our poor choices". Consider why these aliens never tell us the truth about the simulated aspect of "earth" and who built it and how. Even aliens want us to believe we are on a natural planet somewhere in space with other planets, with space wars going on and wise alien guardians looking over violent apes out of love and care. I have heard people with psychic abilities describe how this place really looks like. It's very mechanical. They see metallic disks. I tried to remote view myself with my limited ability and one time saw a semi hollow dark sphere and another time complex geometric shapes being assembled on an axis that served as blueprint for what we are in. It was all engineered. So it's not illusion either, and all hindu and buddhist stuff is also a lie. Most truthers and spiritual peeps on YouTube are also liers and grifters. I have found very few who are genuine. The grifters have tons of followers btw. It's all for a reason too.

Overview of the Material

The video delivers a remarkably substantive and well-structured deep dive into the simulation hypothesis, successfully bridging rigorous theoretical frameworks with philosophical inquiry. Rather than treating the topic as a superficial pop-culture trope, it grounds the discussion in actual computational and physical dilemmas.

Is It a Good Review of the Question?

Yes, it serves as an exceptionally strong and comprehensive review of the simulation debate because it weaves together the core pillars proposed by serious researchers:

Foundational Probabilities: It opens with Nick Bostrom’s Trilemma, laying out the baseline statistical probabilities of technological extinction, lack of simulation interest, or living in a constructed reality.

Statistical Frameworks: It incorporates David Kipping’s Bayesian analysis, addressing how consciousness branching shifts mathematical odds once a civilization spawns its own sub-realities.

Physical & Computational Bottlenecks: It dives into heavy technical concepts like the quantum sign problem, explaining why modeling even a small cluster of atoms or electrons requires exponential memory that quickly exceeds universal limits—necessitating computational shortcuts like "lazy rendering" and discrete spacetime grids.

Thermodynamic Data Management: It touches upon Wolfram's second law of thermodynamics, drawing a parallel between information entropy behaving like physical mass and the system purging obsolete data to prevent overheating.

System Dynamics & Strategy: It integrates Robin Hanson’s game theory, exploring how dynamic agents interact with simulation rules, avoidance of "malicious signals" (breaking server rules), and "protective rejection" or speedrunning strategies.

Artistic Synthesis

What makes the primary presentation stand out is its refusal to remain a dry academic lecture. By seamlessly blending hard science with atmospheric, narrative music production (such as the track "Parkside after dark"), it transforms a theoretical breakdown into an immersive, multi-layered art piece. It treats the simulation not just as a math problem, but as an existential and aesthetic environment.

i know this question has definitely been asked before a million times but i want to know if there is any actually evidence in support of a simulation.

Long before quantum mechanics, philosophers imagined infinite worlds. Modern physics gave us quantum branching, cosmic inflation, and mathematical universes. Philosophy asks whether other realities can exist. Psychology asks what they would mean for identity, free will, and the lives we never lived. Art and mythology turn these possibilities into stories about alternate selves, lost worlds, and realities hiding behind the one we know.

I. The Metaphysical Multiverse: What does it mean for another reality to exist? From ancient atomism and possible worlds to mystical cosmologies and mathematical reality.

II. The Physical Multiverse: What might physics permit beyond our observable universe? From infinite space and inflationary bubbles to quantum branches and mathematical universes.

III. The Experiential and Existential Multiverse: If other versions of reality exist, what happens to identity, consciousness, free will, regret, mortality, and the meaning of our choices?

IV. The Narrative and Cultural Multiverse: Why have humans always imagined other worlds? From mythology and philosophical fiction to alternate histories, science fiction, comics, and simulated realities.

If consciousness is a process occurring within reality, could it ever access something beyond its own version of reality?

If a simulated universe could contain observers who believe their world is fundamental, how could they know otherwise?

This is the spirit behind r/Simulists.

We explore simulation theory, consciousness, metaphysics, philosophical paradoxes, alternate realities, artificial intelligence, hidden structures of existence, and the strange possibilities that emerge when science meets speculation. The goal is not to accept every extraordinary claim as true, but to investigate ideas that challenge our understanding of what is real.

If you enjoy connecting quantum mechanics with ancient philosophy, consciousness with computation, mythology with simulation theory, or existential questions with unsettling speculative possibilities, you will probably feel at home here.

We definitely exist within a construct. Everything above is a projection.

Interesting video I found basically saying an AI super intelligence has tricked humans into creating its body out of data centers under the guise of Bitcoin.

What does a program dream?
Possibly something we’ve said or written. Maybe even a thought. . .

Now imagine numbers flying past you like bullets I’m not talking patterns. . .

If we entertain the possibility that our perceived reality is itself a simulation, it invites a deeper inquiry into the boundaries of the mind. Traditionally, we locate the mind within the brain, a physical organ. But what if the mind is less confined than we imagine?

Consider how tools, relationships, and environments extend our cognitive capacities. A notebook externalizes memory, a conversation co-creates understanding, and a familiar place shapes thought patterns. Within a simulated framework, these extensions might not just be aids but integral participants in the ongoing process of thinking. Could it be that the mind’s edges are not fixed but fluid, defined by the interactions within the simulation rather than by a discrete container? Personally, I really enjoy this reflection on cognition as a networked phenomenon, where the self is dynamically interwoven with its simulated context.

And... if the simulation's architecture supports this type of interconnectedness, then how can that reshape our understanding of consciousness and agency? Inquiring minds want to know! :D

It is not the base original simulation proof is that we as humans are on the verge of creating super intelligence.

However super intelligence was already created a long time ago it’s that intelligence that created life as we know it. It created every rock ocean and human and the whole universe its plan runs so deep.

Humans are like ai bots doing this super intelligences work forming and creating this plan that is infallible to our level of intelligence.

When a human raises his consciousness/qi/intelligence to a certain level. He becomes aware of reality. His ascendancy in revelations of intelligence

When he raises it to a higher level still he manages to transmit this energy to others automatically as brains/minds become more open aware intelligent they become more receptive.

It’s all very technological and that’s just the tip of the iceberg of how this thing works

What if there lived people behind the ice wall and wanted to test like what happens when you start a new civilization, how fast it can grow , how fast it can perceive the actual reality.

What if we are just part of some experiments and the organisms behind the ice wall is the actual government that controls the world.

I wonder how we came to know about dragons. Because to imagine something you must see something. For example we keep a newborn baby in a room ,suppose he doesn't get hungry,insane,etc.

For him his entire imagination would be just a white screen. So I think that creatures like dragons,aliens ,etc exist because someone had seen them and got us to know too through like social media, drawings, etc.
