It’s as if it’s a markov chain with a bigger token space to work from. Oh wait.

He got publicly embarrassed by a disabled person, I know that much. But he would have been like this anyway.
Agreed, I read this as saying that the cop would otherwise have got away with it & that this was a /bad/ thing.
Also, the experimenting on babies thing is hilarious.
Ah, that’s why you were asking about it?
& yeah, a naïve digital physics model is going to run slap into issues with both Bohmian constaints on locality & the fact that it’s unlikely your lovely new model predicts anything taking the current model and ignoring all the philosophical problems (because they don’t actually matter) fails to predict. I would be very surprised if Wolfram isn’t aware of this.
There are some intriguing hints of something deeper in the holographic principle, which suggests that everything that happens inside a bounded region of space can be inscribed on the surface of that volume: You could imagine some kind of process occurring on the surface of a volume that’s connected to the interior in ways that would be non-local from the interior’s POV, but might be entirely local on that surface.
But none of this is developed anywhere near the point that you can wave at one of Wolfram’s favourite automata & go “well, if you run that on the surface of a volume then Quantum Physics & Gravity drop out naturally.” It’s all handwaving & “it might work like this” & a bunch of very theoretical physics that doesn’t, at the current time, actually correspond to real world physics very much, if at all.

Here’s another classic non sequitur: https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fwayy8oc30ygb1.png
Why does it tend to collapse into pseudo-religious babble when it goes off the rails? I guess it tends to be very repetitive, so maybe the training set has turned religiosity into some kind of attractive basin in the output space? Once in, you can’t get out again.
