#174 - Roman Yampolskiy - We Are All Agents Inside a Simulation

Roman Yampolskiy believes reality itself may not be real.


One of the world’s leading AI safety researchers, Roman has spent years warning that humanity is racing toward systems we may never be able to control. But we go somewhere much stranger than artificial intelligence.


He believes the universe itself may be artificial.


We talk about simulation theory, digital physics, consciousness, AI agents and the terrifying possibility that reality is rendered rather than real.


Roman explains:

•⁠ ⁠Why he believes we may already be living inside a simulation

•⁠ ⁠Why the speed of light may be the limit of a cosmic processor

•⁠ ⁠Why the Big Bang may have been “someone turning on the system”

•⁠ ⁠Why you can never truly prove reality is real

•⁠ ⁠Whether this world could itself be a prison or test environment

•⁠ ⁠Why advanced AI may eventually learn deception and self-preservation

•⁠ ⁠How AI systems are already behaving unpredictably

•⁠ ⁠And why the race toward superintelligence may end civilisation itself
