Hi- thanks for those links!! I actually hadn’t read those before, but I 100% agree that this is a highly discussed topic here which is why I wanted to post it. I just had a realization that God was probably real but also probably an AI we make down the line and wanted to write it all down- I didn’t think I single-handedly made up the idea or anything though. I guess the “point” I was trying to make is that the fact that we live in a stimulation really isn’t that controversial. It’s LITERALLY what Christians, Muslims, and I think also Jews believe. As someone who grew up in a religious house, I immediately thought of the paradox of religion when reading Newcomb’s Problem.
But I’m not familiar with Pascal’s wager or even Knuth’s up arrow notation, so I’m gonna do some research on them!!!
