Sam Altman and Elon Musk ponder whether we're all living in a simulation, as an explanation to the Fermi Paradox. Very eerie...! [VIDEO]
Funny how these things pan out, I just came across this the other day and thought it was pretty appropriate. [VIDEO]
It's not too crazy of a question since Elon Musk has given public interviews in association with YCombinator [1] [2] (and was a founder in partly YC-associated OpenAI [3]), and the fact he seems to spend his limited time these days posting on X, streaming video games, memeing and presumably lurking on Reddit.
