My prediction is that in the not-to-distant future, we’re all going to live indefinitely in simulations that optimized for human experience. To do this, AIs will “highjack” our nervous systems and feed generated worlds to use to experience. This kind of thing makes it seem like it’s pretty realistic.

I think a lot of people are already living in this future, trapped in a fantasy bubble world maintained by social media algorithms.

If it has already happened it’s shit and I want my money back.
