In 2001, philosopher Nick Bostrom proposed the simulation argument, which suggests that if a civilization becomes capable of creating conscious simulations, it could generate so many simulated beings that a randomly chosen conscious entity would almost certainly be in a simulation.

Many works of science fiction as well as some forecasts by serious technologists and futurologists predict that enormous amounts of computing power will be available in the future. Let us suppose for a moment that these predictions are correct. One thing that later generations might do with their supe...
A common assumption in the philosophy of mind is that of substrate‐independence. The idea is that mental states can supervene on any of a broad class of physical substrates. Provided a system implements the right sort of computational structures and processes, it can be associated with conscious experi...
At our current stage of technological development, we have neither sufficiently powerful hardware nor the requisite software to create conscious minds in computers. But persuasive arguments have been given to the effect that if technological progress continues unabated then these shortcomings will eventually...
We can take a further step and conclude that conditional on the truth of (3), one’s credence in the hypothesis that one is in a simulation should be close to unity. More generally, if we knew that a fraction x of all observers with human‐type experiences live in simulations, and we don’t have any...
sim (#) This step is sanctioned by a very weak indifference principle. Let us distinguish two cases. The first case, which is the easiest, is where all the minds in question are like your own in the sense that they are exactly qualitatively identical to yours: they have exactly the same information ...

The simulation argument is a hypothetical argument that suggests we may be living in a computer simulation created by a future civilization. It is based on the assumption of substrate-independence, the possibility of vast computational power, and simple probability theory.

Learn about the simulation argument, a philosophical argument that shows that either we are very likely to go extinct, or any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run simulations, or we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.

15 de jun. de 2009 · Nick Bostrom responds to a critique of his argument that at least one of three propositions is true: almost all civilizations go extinct, almost all lose interest in creating simulations, or almost all people live in simulations. He clarifies his position and corrects some misinterpretations of his argument.
