Probably AI development and alignment is something that civilizations want to simulate. Seems like a given civilization will simulate this much more than any other time in history. We live during the development of AI, is this evidence that we live in a simulation?
I’m confused by the anthropic principle-y aspects of this (a neolithic person wouldn’t see their time of existence as evidence against simulation theory). Has this argument been made before? If so where should I read about it?
