What happens when it can predict 100%? Does that mean we have no free will or live in a simulation?

80% is already pretty crazy and disruptive to the sports betting industry. Basically you can live off the model

Only if you can predict reasonably far in advance. If it's just seeing the ball heading towards the back of the court and guessing that the nearest players will move towards it, it's not that interesting or useful. But I'm too lazy to read the article to see what it's doing!

ASI will just read your thoughts to accurately guess your next move. So much for “never let them know your next move”. The schizophrenics were right on this one before anybody.

Hmm, that's an interesting framing. I'm already of the opinion that free will is an illusion and our decisions are simply a chain of reactions to the stimulus presented to us run through a biological algorithm.

Looked at in another way, provided every law of nature and knowledge of the positions of all aspects of existence, it would be possible to project with certainty certain all outcomes since the beginning of time.

I used to think that but not so much anymore. The illusion of free will can only be extrapolated back to the big bang. But what happened before that. What were the rules in place then. What caused the Big Bang where did it come from etc. also the laws we know about now like gravity and forces like electricity, we didn’t know about until recently. There will certainly be other laws we are yet to discover. Quantum mechanics etc
