G (megabyteGhost)The simulation we live in is abandonware.

(mapcar #'emacsomancer objs)@g Abandonware downloaded from a site that filled it full of ads and crypto miners.

@emacsomancer @g There's a genuine "simulated reality" thesis that considers the possibility that we're an accidental, emergent phenomenon in basically a galactic/cosmic scale weather model or something, and that it's unlikely the system can even highlight our existence to the operators before they get their answers and cut the program. 
@emacsomancer @g Of course, if you want to get their attention, creating a planetary-scale entropic anomaly is one possible way to trip a debug routine or appear as an outlier in a scatterplot somewhere.. maybe crypto and oil will save us
@seachaint Maybe. Or maybe they'll just say "oh, shit, there's that weird glitch again. better reboot the system".
Chrisshy KeygenThere was also an argument I read that went essentially: "eventually in a universe with any sentient beings complex simulations will be developed; the nature of simulations is such that there will be many more simulations than there actual universes, and so the odds are that we're in a simulation" (the argument was a bit more sophisticated than this).
Wayne Werner@g can we run doom on it tho? 🤔🥲
