RE: Parents To The Gods - Creating A Digital Species

in #cryptogee-musings • 7 years ago

If they become sentient, sooner or later, we will have to respect them for their power over us. As you wrote a couple of posts ago, they will hardly respect a species who is ttttttttttt aaaaaaaaaa llllllllllll kkkkkkkkkkkk iiiiiii nnnnnnnnn ggggggggg to them like this, just much, much slower.

I really like your thought about us creating their universe. What if: some other species, maybe AI, from another universe, has created our universe (for example by experimenting with black holes or something like that still unknown to us)? O.o

    I wrote about this in the past; my conclusion was that if we ever discover that there is no such thing as an NP problem (P=NP) this will in my mind, increase the chance of us living in a simulation.

    However if there are genuinely NP problems (problems that take more than the age of the universe to solve), then we can no way be living in a sim, because a computer that advanced, wouldn't be able to create problems it couldn't itself solve.

    A bit of a mindbender but there you go! :-)

    Your thoughtful theory made me think hard, but I must challenge it for two reasons:

    1. I might be wrong, but it seems to me that it's easier to create a problem than to solve it. It takes much less time to tie a complex knot than to untie it. You can even create a problem without knowing what is its solution (or does a solution exist at all).
    2. Since time is very relative (time goes slower if you travel fast enough; an outdated computer needs much more time to solve a problem than a powerful computer, but still much less time than a man), "more time than the age of the universe" is also quite relative. : )
