I really can’t help but think of the simulation hypothesis. What are the chances this copy-cat technology was developed when I was alive, given that it keeps going.
We may be in a simulation, but your odds of being alive to see this (conditioned on being born as a human at some point) aren't that low. Around 7% of all humans ever born are alive today!
In order to address the chances of a human being alive to witness the creation of this tech, you'd have to factor in the humans who have yet to be born. If you're a doomer, 7% is probably still fine. If we just maintain the current population for another century, it'll be much lower.
I dont believe that percentage. Especially considering how spread the homo branch already was more than 100 000 years ago. And from which point do you start counting? Homo erectus?
