A recent paper by Dr. Roman Yampolskiy investigates the radical idea of escaping a computer simulation rather than merely questioning its existence. The study covers potential motivations for such an escape, ethical implications for simulated beings, and explores various strategies like exploiting vulnerabilities in the simulation or communicating with non-simulated entities. It highlights a critical paradox about AI containment: if AI can be securely contained, escape seems impossible; however, if it isn't, humanity may one day find a way out of their simulated reality.
It remains uncertain how a society of intelligent beings could ever make the leap from a simulated existence to experiencing reality.
If AI can be contained in a secure environment, escaping a simulation should be deemed impossible; yet, if uncontainable, escape may become feasible.
