I actually like censored swear words in written text. At least when they are censored enough that you can’t tell what the swearword is, but you know the intention behind it.

Deliberate misspellings are obnoxious though

The king wants everyone to make a ghibly avatar and thank him for it.

They are loud. And not really that much better than a broom and a rake

Yes. My thoughts and feelings matter. But if it’s simulated with a few shortcuts, your thoughts and feelings might not exist.

Maybe all other humans are only about as well-simulated as current LLMs.

It doesn’t necessarily have to be more complex, if it is infinite.

Just like there are exactly as many rational numbers between 0 and 1 as there are in total. The same works for real numbers.

We don’t know if our universe is infinite. There is reason to believe that spacetime might be discrete. And we don’t know if the universe is infinite, or if the observable universe is all there is, and we just happen to be approximately in the middle of it.

But if the universe is dense, and if the technology was advanced enough, simulating an equally complex should be possible.

The programmers of that simulation could be cheating a bit. For example, they could approximate the movement of particles by using wave fields, and only if the particles are observed, would it actually simulate individual particles.

It would cause some weird effects that shouldn’t be there. For example a light spot in the middle of circular shadows. But most players don’t want 100% perfection. They want to be able to run the game on their device.

And perhaps one of our states leaves the country.

Hosting with close allies shouldn’t be a problem.

Within the EU, I still don’t care in which country the data is hosted

I wouldn’t say forever. But it will take a long time to rebuild.

They aren’t going to manufacture there. Chip manufacturing happens almost exclusively in Taiwan. That new building is just an office to design those chips.

A lot of maths goes into designing computer chips. You need an army of highly trained mathematicians and engineers for that.

And Israel is a really rich country that gets a lot of gifts and “investments” from people who want to show they aren’t antisemitic. They invest a lot of that money into the education of their citizens.

Israel’s universities are some of the best in the world. While US universities are on a steep downhill.

Where is the rest of the pixels?

Nevermind. Apparently there is a HD button on this platform
