The classic "slow boiling frog experiment" is quintessential to the enshittification process

If we're living in a simulation, why would the simulation creators allow the sims to ponder and speculate whether or not they live in a simulation? in c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world

It's for the really dumb stuff. It's more of "don't fall from the edge of a tall building", and not "don't create a market scenario which will lead to the downfall of human civilization"

you're going to get a worse experience in win11 compared to win10 (extra ads and extra copilot)
your win10 pc will lose M$ support on October 2025
if you update to win11 today with a non TPU enabled chipset, you'll lose M$ support today

Just remind me again why I should upgrade to win11?

If I made a simulation, I would be interested in how the simulated agents interact with each other. I would only set some very basic restrictions on them (don't fall out of bounds, maintain self-preservation). I would be very interested in what kinds of questions they come up with, what kind of structures they make using cooperation, overall behavior (assuming i'm interested in the agents in the first place).

Of course, if the simulation is not good enough, I'll just close the simulation, change some parameters and restart the sim using an earlier snapshot.
