A thought experiment which has hit me almost as hard as the simulation hypothesis. I’m still in disbelief. But this is utterly fascinating. Ultimately it’s hard to disagree with the conclusions.

Nice post, Rob! Reminded me of the 3-body problem: How can we build an observatory without the AI undermining that effort. The book's answer is the wallfacer: a person given large resources who builds a strategy without revealing it to anyone. But hopefully we are not yet that far along the journey such that all our efforts are visible to it.

Listened to the podcast of this. Very intriguing thought experiment. And I think you're right - we should have a lot more clarity on this in the next 18 months or so. Bubble, or AI manipulation, or missing revenue, or some combination thereof. We'll see!

Simulation is inspiring. The game will be known once the AI gather mass for wider adoption and adventure by all sections including the public. Enjoy the dream till then.
