닉 보스트롬은 향후 몇 년이 인류 문명의 장기 궤적을 결정할 수 있으며, 우리가 조상 시뮬레이션(ancestor simulation) 안에 있다면 현재 시대가 영구적으로 결과를 고정할 수 있는 결정적 시기라고 주장. 이는 존재론적·리스크 관점에서 중요한 논의임을 시사함.
The next few years may determine the long-term trajectory of human civilization. Nick Bostrom says that if we’re in an ancestor simulation, this would be the defining era, as outcomes permanently lock in. “That might be something of particular interest to a wide range of
