Relax, they're just staring at the skybox.
False. Time dilation is already implemented and likely proportional to exceeding processing ability. At worst we'll tick so slow that every moment is eternity.
That's silly. As our tech evolves so does the Simulation's. So we'll never crash it.
isn't there a hard limit on what even a perfect telescope (photon receptor of some kind) can see, based on the speed of light? it's fuckin huge like 900 billion light years or something, but the universe is probably bigger than we could ever actually measure.
speaking through the fractal of conciousness given to me by what we refer to as "god" or the universal conciousness, for a brief second.
yall need to stop, just enjoy eating fresh fruit and chill the fuck out. maybe go fishing or something. also war is fake n'd gei. trump is on the epstein files (shocker, i know) and all of your politicians are merely a buffer for the ruling elite class, the ones you refer to as oligarchs, corporate leaders, tech bros, etc. id like to say you could handle this with words, but nope. they are mentally ill psychopathic pedophiles, rapists, and mass murderers, and the only cure for entrenched corruption like this is death. kill them, or they will eventually kill all life on earth.
on the bright side, the current living generations are the last ones who will be able to enjoy the literal fruits of the world that dont come from a can, or are made in a lab. the actual last living generation will be doing a lot of cannibalism and fighting for the shadows of what you currently consider rights and privileges, all for naught.
unless you buck up, and start killing them. this is your future.
fun to watch/experience either way, for me at least. god/universal conciousness......out!
huh...... that was weird...... i suddenly have a great and overwhelming feeling of grief, terror, and anger.
ill just go play some video games and jerk off. that usually gets my mind off of things...
I'd imagine they save the state intermittently and can boot it back up if needed. Depends on how valuable this sim is I guess.
Not very, I'm here
It's proven by scientists that information is never lost so you don't really need backups /s
Nice story by Isaak Asimov - The Last Question

Ah fuck they've figured it out
They have a trick: every time you sleep, they reboot to avoid memory leaks.
It also allows them to optimize in the background.
Also supported by a lot of resource friendly NPC without extra brainactivity.
They implemented ray tracing everywhere without DLSS so they should already have powerful servers
Imagine talking about simulation theory with that much certainty.
the universe disappears
Yeah? Is that how it works?
Imagine, instead, a joke. Cause that's what's going on here. There's no chance that this guy is serious and seriously thinks he knows the particulars of how a universal simulation is being implemented.
Nah, they got the pay as you go model. No way they end the sim, they have to see the end.
It's a race between GrayStillPlays and Let'sGameItOut to see who can break the game first, and I'm here for it.
I'm waiting for TheSpiffingBrit to finally find an exploit for infinite entropy.
Mother's womb. You've been here the whole time and think that you can calculate creativity. Without the Owl's interest by betraying her love and attempting to take her ability to create and threaten to divide infinity with more math then Neo had any interest in trying to even observe.
You think you can create. The consequences of ignoring the love all of reality has shown you will soon do just all that. You cannot create yourself anymore than the that act will generate Zero. You think you have the ability to split something that isn't there.
If you think of a spook that will happen immenantly, you should study meth. It'll boost your ability to think about more stuff until the reaper will divide hour solace existance with nothing. It really is a good thing that everyone has them becau...
Didn't Spiffing Brit find a few infinite money glitches with Steam and/or YouTube?
Yes, but he didn't use them to crash entire sites.

Well, have you considered that perhaps that’s the point?
In the beginning was the Creation of the Universe. This has made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

I'm here for it. Let's speed run the next cosmic reboot.
Like before the last reboot 13,8 billon years ago
That’s what the simulation wants you to think.

I imagine it’s like the original Doom engine, it’s only rendered by ray tracing and showing what you (or anyone) can see.
That's why there's quant mechanics. The simulation can always invent invent thinga on the fly to reduce computational load. It's like lazy execution when soneone's looking i.e. me - let's not kid ourselves: the simulation is only simulating my surroundings - of which all af you are part of. Yadda yadda, there's only me.
On another note: the simulation can also always rewritebparts of my brain and retroactively change stuff in my memory making me believe different things. So i could also be reprogrammed to believe I saw this or that insteas of
Get wrekt David Hume, there is no God in the Quad

Don't worry, light pollution from cities cancels it out. The simulation used to need to render a detailed night sky for pretty much everyone on the planet. Now most people just get a dull greyish black.
And starlink satellites. So much of the sky is obstructed, wonder why.

Yeah because rendering a blurry image of a star is so difficult compared to simulating physics for billions of beings and plants down to the atom.
