Tech Billionaires Are Asking Scientists For Help To Break Humans Out of Computer Simulation (businessinsider.com)

Many believe that we live in a computer simulation. But it takes a billionaire and his money to ask scientists to help break us out of the simulation. The New Yorker recently did a profile about Y Combinator's Sam Altman. In the story, Altman discusses his theories about being controlled by technology and delves into the simulation theory. From an article on The New Yorker: Many people in Silicon Valley have become obsessed with the simulation hypothesis, the argument that what we experience as reality is in fact fabricated in a computer; two tech billionaires have gone so far as to secretly engage scientists to work on breaking us out of the simulation. Business Insider adds: The piece doesn't give any clue as to who those two billionaires are -- although it's easy to hazard a few guesses at who they might be, like Musk himself or Altman's friend Peter Thiel -- but it's fascinating to see how seriously people are taking this theory. According to Musk, it's the most popular topic of conversation right now.Earlier this year, at Code Conference, Elon Musk said there's "one in billions" chance we're not living in a computer simulation.

You are entitled to your fact-free opinion.

already answered. She was elected on the coat tails of WJC. She moved to NY as a CarpetBagger (look up the term).

I am not a Trump supporter so comparing Trump to Clinton is pretty worthless. As for beating weak candidates, can you explain how Hillary had trouble beating three pretty weak candidates? IMHO 16 is harder than 3. The fact that she had to enlist the DNC to help get her election rigged enough to beat Bernie isn't much better (it is actually worse) than Trump beating 16.

Again, what "qualification" does she have, other than her failed example as SoS and a do nothing Senator from NY, that won because she was WJC's wife. I believe that Monica could have won that election, had she been married to Bill.

You aren't a RINO, you are confused.
