Many Worlds against Simulation?

2 Coacher 07 March 2016 01:50PM

Lets assume few things:

1. Many Worlds is real.

2. All identical consciousnesses measures as 1 in anthropics . So if we have set of consciousness: 1xA,1xB and 1000000xC, it is still 1/3 chance, to perceive being C.

 

Now say some intelligent being (i.e. human) starts another human brain simulation on silicon chip. The operations it does are all discrete, so despite the chip splitting in to many chips in many worlds, the simulated consciousness itself remain just 1 (because of #2 assumption).

But that is not true for human who started the simulation as he differs somehow in every Everett branch and reaches billions different consciousnesses really fast.

Is there some mistake in reasoning, that real persons should heavily outweigh simulations, despite, how many of them are running, given such assumptions?

If there IS alien super-inteligence in our own galaxy, then what it could be like?

For a moment lets assume there is some alien intelligent life on our galaxy which is older than us and that it have succeeded in creating super-intelligent self-modifying AI.

Then what set of values and/or goals it is plausible for it to have, given our current observations (I.e. that there is no evidence of it`s existence)?

Some examples:

It values non-interference with nature (some kind of hippie AI)

It values camouflage/stealth for it own defense/security purposes.

It just cares about exterminating their creators and nothing else.
