Billionaires Fund Project To Get Us Out Of 'Matrix'

Some of the world’s richest and most powerful people are convinced that we are living in a computer simulation. And now, two of Silicon Valley’s tech billionaires have secretly engaged scientists to break humans out of the simulation that they believe that it is living in. even Bank of America analysts wrote last month that the chances we are living in a Matrix style fictional world is as high as 50%. Many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis, the argument that what we experience as reality is in fact fabricated in a computer. Tesla fonder and CEO had said earlier that he believe that the chance that we are not living in a simulation is “one in billion”. He said he had come to that conclusion after a chat in a hot tub, where it was pointed out that computing technology has advanced so quickly that at some point in the future it will become indistinguishable from real life – and, if it does, there’s no reason to think that it hasn’t done already. If we aren’t living through a simulation then all human life is probably about to come to an end and so we should hope that we are living in one. Altman said he was concerned about the way that the devices that surround us might lead to the extinction of all consciousness in the universe. He spoke about how the best scenario for dealing with that is a “merge” – when our brains and computers become one, perhaps by having our brains uploaded into the cloud.
