Elon Musk: "There's a very high probability we're living in a simulation."
In a conversation with Nikhil Kamath, Musk explained how video games evolved from Pong to photorealistic worlds with millions of players in just 50 years. He noted that if this trend continues, games will soon be indistinguishable from reality with intelligent characters.
"So then what are the odds that we are in base reality? And that this has not happened before."
Musk added that we should think of this as probabilities, not certainties, and shared his theory that "The most interesting outcome is the most likely outcome as seen by a third party, the gods of the simulation."
