Why?

Well I did say in the OP, that I'm assuming we have a working Q computer, and my follow up question is more about creating a long range accurate weather forecast. All this talk of living in a simulation is a pointless rabbit hole, even if we discover that we do, we'd be powerless to affect the process.

Prophecy is relatively easy, you're going to die; but I've gotta way to make the intervening knowledge understandable; we never learn from history,,,

How would you extracate yourself? The blue pill just gets you hard...

You lucky, lucky barsteward... 🙃 I watched it this morning and it's definately relevant, but to read a 2 hour conversation would take me about 2 weeks, so I'll wait for someone to slice the steak for me; cuz I'm disabled and it would be a kind thing to do. Indeed, just chewing the fat... 😋

I wonder what might happen when Trump, slowly, comes to understand; another Musk moment?

Why do you need to be right? Read on in my topic, I was wrong; if you want to discover something, try to understand why I don't care... 😉

Thanks guy's, so no to the measurement problem, which has similar implication for the simulation problem. But with further thought, I wondered if a combination of both types of computer (in this context) could significantly extend, into the future, our ability to forecast the weather; my thoughts being a quantum computer could provide a finer measurment with which to start the computation. I will watch it bc I'm a huge Assimov fan, but it's got nothing to do with the topic... Have you secured your place in the bunker?

A bit of both, I suppose...

In a recent topic about creating a computer simulation of the universe, which is obvious nonsense with our current technology. It got me thinking, assuming we manage to build a working quantum computer, would it be theoretically possible?

Nope, you haven't answered any of my question's, but you have convinced me not to bother reading more. Thanks for trying +1, but I don't think his idea has the logical consistency to be considered an hypothesis.

Indeed, the race to the bottom is accelerating... I have mixed feelings, mostly I hope Europe stays out of that particular race and aims more accurately at the top...

My apologies for the 'snark', but there's literally a wall of text before this conclusion "With this idea, a universe can be simulated by a simple evolved "machine", Computational limitations are gone." and another wall of text following. I'm dyslexic, so I see patterns of expression much more easily than a bloviated sentence, consequently when replying, my natural brevity can seem more confrontational than I intend. So let's at least meet half way, and you give me a reasonable synopsis of your idea, please...

What makes you think it would be useful? What computational limitation? Define "machine" please. These question's need to be answered with concise brevity, before I can be bothered to read the rest.

The end of time's has been predicted by just about every culture, in every generation since we learned how to paint on cave wall's; our generations prediction, seems a little more imminent, and a lot more germain to the facts. And it's got nothing to do with the Trump, in the way you're suggesting.

Indeed, it's not as if we ever learn from history, mostly bc the specific's don't quite match and therefore can be ignored, especially if there's money to be made...

Mr Hitler was a big fan of Fred and he got it very wrong. Meanwhile Trump is ploughing the same furrow, and we all know "you get what you sow". Mr Hitler assumed the ubermenche/superman was automatically the most powerful person on the planet; Fred spoke of the ubermenche that was to come, due to a configuration of circumstance and the right man for the job. As it happened with Jesus, Mohamed, Buddha etc... IOW It's not power that makes one superior it's understanding AKA wisdom. Why would you think I wouldn't? We all make mistakes, even Mr Trump; what would you do, if he suddenly had an epiphany and admitted that he was completely wrong?

The ubermensch has it's antipode, Trump is just the latest iteration of "he who got it wrong",,,

Isaac Asimov had a go with the three laws of robotics but he had to modify them to include a fourth. The law's for people using AI is what we need to make up and it'll need many more than four to nail it down properly... 😉

The NT is by way of explaining the OT in a modern, for Jesus, way. Jesus understood what the OT was trying to teach, so he was able to reinterpret the message; allowing for the evolution of knowledge, language and culture. But it did evolve, quite naturally I think, to include hell; for those who seem to get away with their crimes scot-free, they're so much more difficult to forgive; if they can get to heaven as well. If you can forgive yourself for your worst thought/action, it's easier to forgive your fellow, flawed, humans for their's. At least it should be, if one thinks about it properly...

AI doesn't give a shit, it's people that steals information...

He's trying to sell a book... Heaven and hell are the same thing, two sides of the same coin; in a nutshell, heaven is what I get if I follow the rules, hell is what they get if they don't. It's justice controlled by a trusted arbiter, whatever side you're on...

Indeed, that's what AI is thinking about... 😉

Children. Eden is what we dream of, it's a powerful image, something to strive for; if I do everything according to the rules then my reward is contentment, for as long as I'm aware.

You should look for anything, that helps you to think of a better question. And kids should be seen and not heard, sorry pops...
