Contradictions in Believing Both Simulation Hypothesis and the Singularity
2:10:43 - 2:15:07 (04:24)
It is contradictory to believe in both the simulation hypothesis and the singularity as the simulation hypothesis suggests that a general intelligence has already been invented at some point in time, while the singularity anticipates it in the future.

The growth curves of intelligence will eventually hit a limit due to the physical constraints of data processing, as dictated by the laws of physics, and are restricted by heat output and the number of particles available.

The idea of living in a simulation and the possibility of general intelligence contradict each other because if we are living in a simulation it means we have already invented general intelligence.

Summary
The idea of living in a simulation and the possibility of general intelligence contradict each other because if we are living in a simulation it means we have already invented general intelligence. Those who hold both beliefs may be contradicting themselves at a deep level.
