Sample dialogue

Think about video game technology. Call of Duty. Grand Theft Auto. Simulations that create worlds inhabited by users (like us) and bots - i.e. “non-playable- characters” (like your friend). Imagine the leap from the rudimentary graphics of Atari, to Xbox. In less than twenty years. Multiply that by a hundred. Computing power that grows exponentially every passing year. If you assume any rate of progress, from now until the end of time, it is a mathematical certainty that we will invent a photo-real simulation that is so authentic we won’t be able to discern reality from video game. Nick Bostrom, Elon Musk... there is a growing consensus that if we accept the supposition that simulation technology is achievable, then the odds we live in a simulation exceed 95%. Do you see the implant in your hand?
