Yeah it is likely that we are in a simulation. But there are many different possibilities regarding who is running the sim and to which purpose. Future humans playing GTA 17 is one possibility.

What makes you think it’s likely we’re in a simulation?

If simulations are possible, there will be many more simulated lifetimes than “real” lifetimes as time goes on. So the chances of this lifetime being “real” approach 0%

no it’s more like 50/50

neil degrasse tyson explains it very well

Yeah, it's is either a simulation or it is not so 50/50.

Then that's true for all lifetimes but someone has to have created it

Please tell me you meant it metaphorically as it could be any game series, you weren't just saying GTA because "people are assholes" or whatever

Yeah for sure, I don't endorse the 'people are bad' narratives. I just used GTA as a placeholder for whatever ultra advanced open world games could be created by fully technologically mature civilizations, since I played some GTA installments and I liked it.
