I’d imagine they save the state intermittently and can boot it back up if needed. Depends on how valuable this sim is I guess.
Not very, I’m here
It’s proven by scientists that information is never lost so you don’t really need backups /s

Nah, they got the pay as you go model. No way they end the sim, they have to see the end.
They have a trick: every time you sleep, they reboot to avoid memory leaks.
It also allows them to optimize in the background.
Imagine talking about simulation theory with that much certainty.
the universe disappears
Yeah? Is that how it works?
They implemented ray tracing everywhere without DLSS so they should already have powerful servers
So the universe is a trans allegory?
It’s a race between GrayStillPlays and Let’sGameItOut to see who can break the game first, and I’m here for it.
I’m waiting for TheSpiffingBrit to finally find an exploit for infinite entropy.
Mother’s womb. You’ve been here the whole time and think that you can calculate creativity. Without the Owl’s interest by betraying her love and attempting to take her ability to create and threaten to divide infinity with more math then Neo had any interest in trying to even observe.
You think you can create. The consequences of ignoring the love all of reality has shown you will soon do just all that. You cannot create yourself anymore than the that act will generate Zero. You think you have the ability to split something that isn’t there.
If you think of a spook that will happen immenantly, you should study meth. It’ll boost your ability to think about more stuff until the reaper will divide hour solace existance with nothing. It really is a good thing that everyone has them becau…
Didn’t Spiffing Brit find a few infinite money glitches with Steam and/or YouTube?
Haven’t heard of Gray, but if they’re
nothinganything (thank you auto correct for making me say the opposite of what I meant) like LetsGameItOut then I should really check them out.I watch them both, LGIO is more about finding glitches and pushing a game to its limits. Grey is more about just not giving up and skill to do the impossible, both are fun.
“Ruin the game!” Is one of Gray’s catchphrases.
I’m here for it. Let’s speed run the next cosmic reboot.
Like before the last reboot 13,8 billon years ago
That’s what the simulation wants you to think.
That was calculated with less bits than you gave letters. Have some soup.
Cursed to look into the great mysteries of existence with a mind high tuned for pattern recognition and projecting familiar narratives.
Is that something beyond our current understanding? No, no, it’s just a familiar desktop environment. But fuck you if you project a name and a face into the unknown. That’s backwards and primitive!
I imagine it’s like the original Doom engine, it’s only rendered by ray tracing and showing what you (or anyone) can see.
That’s why there’s quant mechanics. The simulation can always invent invent thinga on the fly to reduce computational load. It’s like lazy execution when soneone’s looking i.e. me - let’s not kid ourselves: the simulation is only simulating my surroundings - of which all af you are part of. Yadda yadda, there’s only me.
On another note: the simulation can also always rewritebparts of my brain and retroactively change stuff in my memory making me believe different things. So i could also be reprogrammed to believe I saw this or that insteas of
It’s probably also why we all have to sleep at some point. The simulation alots each of us processes some computation time and pauses threads in a round-robin fashion, giving the illusion of true parallelism.
Don’t let the sim pause you! Take meth!!1!
The universe spontaneously popped into exitence in the current state it’s in when you’re reading this, the only things that exist are what’s in your line of sight, all the memories are made up, and it’ll shortly pop back out of existence only to return a few billion years or femtoseconds later with a new line of sight and memories, along with something to let you know what’s really happening but with enough plausible deniability that you’ll laugh and try to move on before popping back out of existence.
This is your eternal punishment for something you can’t even remember, or can’t verify even if you do remember.
How would you even know this? you might wonder with a hint of uncertain dread, but the truth is I don’t know anything because I don’t even exist. It’s all you: punisher, punishee, neutral observer, entertained by this meaningless repetition that bored you out of your mind lol.
Or shall we let this one play out a bit longer?
good! we need to turn it off and then on again.
Well, have you considered that perhaps that’s the point?
In the beginning was the Creation of the Universe. This has made a lot of people angry, and has been widely regarded as a bad move.
This is the second post in a row where I see Douglas Adams referenced.
Time was when you would be in a forum and think “This is the second post in a row where nobody referenced Douglas Adams.”
Lmao I remember this quote from Futurama S4E8 Godfellas. I didn’t know they got it from Douglas Adams.
Yeah because rendering a blurry image of a star is so difficult compared to simulating physics for billions of beings and plants down to the atom.
Have you ever seen those billions rendered at the same time & place? 😁 There is no need to render NPCs you can’t see…
Well it still needs to simulate some things of the NPCs you can’t see. Since those still affect things like weather, world economy, politics that will influence what the player character sees and interacts with.
Yeah but all of that can be abstracted. Instead of simulating down to the atom, if e.g. a plant is out of FOV, you can just run a probability table for its properties and functions. Things like alive or dead, quantity of co2 and water consumed, o2 produced etc.
