Theoretical Physics & Computational Universe - The speaker believes underlying physics is information theory, suggesting we are in a computational universe, but not a straightforward simulation [1] - The speaker finds the ability of systems to model real structures in nature interesting, referencing work with AlphaGo and AlphaFold [2] - The speaker may write a scientific paper about the implications of these systems for understanding reality [2] Simulation Argument & Recursion - If we are in a simulation, the beings creating it are likely in a simulation themselves [3] - This leads to either an infinite stack of simulations or a stopping criterion [3]
