Show Notes

In the back half of The Simulation Hypothesis, Rizwan Virk leaves the gaming and physics foundations behind and heads straight into the deep end: dreams, reincarnation, karma, synchronicity, near-death experiences, UFOs, AI consciousness, and the possibility that ancient mystics were describing the same reality modern technologists are now stumbling toward from the opposite direction.

Welcome back to MU! As AI and automation get better & better at doing our jobs, they may also be slowly doing away with the way humans have always learned to become good at them.
