a good enough simulation interacting with the real word would be no less impactful than whatever you imagine a non-simulation to be.

as we agentify and embody these systems to take actions in the real word, i really hope we remember that. "It's just a simulation"/ "It's not true [insert property]" is not the shield some imagine it to be.



This was the central point of the bladerunner movies, perfectly and succinctly captured in the recent movie when one character asks:

“Is that dog real”

“I dunno ask him”

“Woof”
