Things seem to be moving much faster than we thought they would.

The point at which we can build something like The Matrix, something that is so immersive that we would forget that there was a world outside. I thought maybe we were 50% of the way there. Now I think we're at least 70%. If the AI gets so good that we can't tell the difference, then it becomes really tricky. There's something called the sci-fi feedback loop where science fiction inspires real world innovation. And so Spike Jones saw an earlier chat box called the Alice bot. It was one of the first bots that had a personality of a young lady. And then he wrote the movie Her. It's a genius movie. But notice there was no physical avatar representation. It was just her. And it's not a bad way to describe what I think of is a great simulation in the video game of life. So when I looked at all three of these areas, the technology, AI, religious side, I realized they were all saying the same thing that this world isn't real. And so that opens up this idea that a UFO gets presented to us in different ways. Now, how easy is it going to be to explain something that's different than what we know?

Hey, guys. If you're not following me on Spotify, please hit that follow button and leave a five-star

review. They're both a huge huge help. Thank you. Rizvirk, back so soon. I love it.

Yeah, it's great to be back in the nicer weather, too.

Last time I was here, I think it was the coldest day I'd ever experienced.

Yeah, that was during like that winter vortex around Christmas.

Yeah, not a good time.

It was crazy.

And I think I ended up cutting your thumb and my train got canceled the next day. I was walking through the New Jersey airport and my thumb was bleeding and I didn't have any. Yeah, you walked in here like you had just committed a murder. I was a little worried. Like, should I call the cops? He's like, can I bandage this up? It's like gushing everywhere. I'm like, oh, yeah.

It was all your front, don't know, I think, somehow.

Well, it's great to have you back. Would you mind sliding this over here just so people can see it?

We got the new updated simulation hypothesis dropping. So, congrats on that.

Thank you so much. This is 400 pages of if anyone wants to understand what the hell the simulation hypothesis is and how it could work, which includes

all the hypotheticals of what we know and obviously don't know. This is your Bible right here.

Yeah, that's this is the definitive edition. You know, I wrote the first version of this book back in 2019 and that was before chat chippy T

had even come out so I was mostly speculating on AI and of course since then we've had

a lot of progress on that front in terms of your everyday use of AI AI personalities

a I generating stuff as well as updates in video game technology.

So, you know, that's part of the reason why I updated this book. And also I've had people

ask me a bunch of different questions over the years. And some of the most frequent ones,

you know, like, what are the odds? We're in a simulation. And I've updated my odds. Oh, you updated them? Yeah, I've updated the odds and I've included a whole bunch of those frequently asked questions in this version. So even if people have the old edition, this is the definitive one to heck. Right. Because that's what I was going to ask. I'd imagine you're going through the fine tooth comb on each chapter. And like as you have new information since 2019,
