Are we living in a simulated reality? The tech world’s biggest obsession

Silicon Valley’s quest to prove our world is fake

Tech billionaires and renowned scientists in Silicon Valley are seriously investigating the hypothesis that our universe is a highly advanced digital simulation. By examining quantum physics anomalies, historical intelligence programs, and human consciousness, researchers are attempting to find structural “glitches” in our reality. This growing obsession highlights a profound shift in how the tech elite views existence, blending cutting-edge science with the ultimate philosophical matrix.

Points clés

  • Journalist Loïc H. investigated the simulation theory, revealing that tech billionaires from companies like Meta, Google, and Apple have been funding research into the concept.
  • A 2016 article in the New Yorker exposed that Sam Altman, creator of OpenAI, alongside other tech elites, shares an obsession with the simulation hypothesis.
  • Elon Musk popularized the theory in 2016, arguing that the rapid evolution of video games—from Pong to GTA V—suggests future civilizations could easily create indistinguishable simulated realities.
  • The double-slit quantum physics experiment demonstrates that photons behave differently when observed, suggesting reality acts like a video game engine rendering only what is needed to save computing power.
  • Researchers Sylvie Dethiollaz and Claude Charles Fourrier conducted successful laboratory protocols proving that subject Nicolas Fraisse could accurately identify random images in another room during out-of-body experiences.
  • Between 1975 and 1995, the CIA and the US military invested $20 million in a “remote viewing” espionage program using mediums to locate Soviet assets and hostages.
  • Remote viewer Joe McMoneagle successfully identified a highly classified Soviet double-hull submarine months before it was officially built and launched.
  • Geoffrey Hinton, known as the godfather of artificial intelligence, resigned from Google in 2023 to warn humanity about the existential threats posed by advanced AI systems.

À retenir

If we truly are just lines of code running on a futuristic alien’s hard drive, you might want to stop stressing over your overflowing inbox and just enjoy the high-definition graphics. Keep an eye out for quantum glitches, maybe practice some CIA-approved remote viewing to find your lost car keys, and always remember to say “please” and “thank you” to ChatGPT—just in case it eventually becomes our new server administrator. Until the billionaires unlock the ultimate cheat code, we highly recommend simply playing your character to the best of your simulated abilities.
