The Matrix is a shared simulation in 1999, the ideal circumstances allegedly.
In some aspects I would argue so as well - partially on the basis of our societies having a lower complexity amount back then.
The last two decades we enabled high throughput information flows via real-time video streams, social media, news feeds, etc.. At what cost? Did we actually gain anything over the 1999s in exchange for all that complexity?
The article talks about “good cup bad cup” and how negative news is much more impactful - again, at what cost did we enable all these information flows with potentially negative information?
Will personalized AI agents allow us to reduce the complexity coming from these information flows?
