I was under the impression that something along these lines was already accepted from the perspective of information theory. I.e. a machine that could simulate the universe must at least be composed of as much information as the universe itself. Given the vastness and complexity of the universe, this would make it rather unlikely that the universe is simulated. Unless you want to view the universe itself as a machine that calculates it’s own progression. But that is a bit of a semantic point.

Disclaimer: this is not my area of expertise and I probably got some terms or concepts wrong. I am basing this off of ‘The information’ by James Gleick

SLASH THE GAME CHANGING BREAKTHROUGH

What’s dystopian is that a company like google will fight tooth and nail to remain the sole owner and rights holder to such a tech. A technology that should be made accessible outside the confines of capitalist motives.
Such technologies have the potential to lift entire populations out of poverty. Not to mention that they could mitigate global warming considerably.
It is simply not in the interest of humanity to allow one or more companies to hold a monopoly over such technology

I wish I knew then that debbie does the trick for me
