computer simulations

“The simulation doesn't have to be perfect to be provocative. A, there's, you know, the ideal is something where it's perfect, and it gives quantitative predictions, whether of the stock market or of traffic or something like that. But a lot of times things are…”

“And so when we look at some of the data models and what we can do in terms of the predictive power of those models, you know, I see a future where we're getting rid of the animals, because what we can simulate in the computer is going to do a better job of pre…”

“And that we don't have the luxury of simulating an alternate version of our lives. Cause we can't do that yet. We probably won't be able to do that for a long time, particularly the kind of emotional Complexity of choosing to marry someone or something like th…”

“It feels like simulations today are this kind of fringe group. Over time, like, it just seems like a far better way to test these really complex things.”

“We've been doing computer simulation forever. We totally know the limits of simulating physical phenomenon. Particularly chaotic systems. We have actually very far bounds on these. It's, by the way, it's not just like the limits on, on the size of like a compu…”
