Is Life A Video Game? - Elon Musk

The video discusses the possibility that we are living in a simulation. It begins by comparing the evolution of video games from simple graphics like Pong to advanced photorealistic simulations. The argument suggests that if technological advancement continues, games will become indistinguishable from reality. This leads to the conclusion that the probability of us being in base reality is very low. The video also touches on the implications of this theory, suggesting that if we are not in a simulation, civilization might face a catastrophic event. The video ends with a call to subscribe for more content.
