    Next, they’ll add AI fauna and an intelligent race much like our own. They’ll jack the speed up to high and use it to see how problems in our own future might arise and be dealt with.

    Every so often the administration may have to make some sort of “god” type AI to pop in and try to keep things heading on track in the directions we need it to go. I can’t wait till they get up to traveling to their moon and seeing if they decide to fake it, or go at it for real. Hopefully we’ll be able to keep the simulation going long enough without it destroying itself to see if they can solve interstellar travel in a way we can copy. Otherwise it’ll need reset so we can try again.

      speed it up 1000x and wait for them to develope sci-fi tech and then reverse engineer the tech and steal the tech to adapt it into our physical reality. /n

    Meanwhile, one level up:
    “Hey, look! Our planetary simulation has developed it’s own planetary simulation.”
    “Cool! Lets set up a pool how many recursive simulations there will be in 100 years.”

        Yes. I think so. It just takes an exponential amount of energy and/or time. At some point it will stop due to energy limitations. Or will be stopped because computation time approaches infinity, even if all energy in the universe is available.

        Also, now I think about the movie “The Thirteenth Floor”.

    Earth 2.0’s soft launch was met with modest success, but some far-right critics claim the day 1 patch, which removed racism, bigotry, and hate based on identity, makes the game “unplayable.”
