Two of Silicon Valley’s biggest names, Elon Musk and Sam Altman, are asking scientists to help break humanity out of the computer simulation we are all living in.
“Many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis, the argument that what we experience as reality is in fact fabricated in a computer,” reports The New Yorker.
“Two tech billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation.”
The article also indicates that other billionaires are also interested in the theory, although it doesn’t disclose any further names.
But despite the interest, these billionaires aren’t too comfortable talking about the theory:
“…it got to the point where basically every conversation was the AI slash simulation conversation and my brother and I finally agreed that we’d ban any such conversations if we’re ever in a hot tub,” said Musk at Vox Media’s Code Conference in June.
“Because that really kills the magic.”
