Back in 2019 well before the AI stuff started happening, I started looking into whether or not our history had the kind of Easter Egg that’s often put into the history in virtual worlds where some dismissed religious figure was all like “your free will is just buttons being pressed” or shit.
And well, it kind of totally exists and is sitting in plain sight but no one seems to have connected it to modern developments yet.
The Gospel of Thomas (“good news of the twin”) was dug up right when we turned on the first Turing complete computer (a computer capable of simulating another computer) and is all like “the world to come has already happened but you don’t know it” and “you’re in a copy of the universe based on the images that came before you.”
The only group recorded following it was talking about quantized matter and how there’s an original world that’s infinitely divisible and that the ability to detect an indivisible point making up your body is only possible in the spiritual copy of the physical original (there’s a lot of interesting stuff re: sim theory and quanta vs continuous relativity). They claimed the creator of this copy universe was brought forth in light by an original humanity that’s now dead and we’re in their images as the children of the light based creator.
It proceeded to get more and more eerie as since 2019 we suddenly now have AI, there’s billion dollar companies trying to move AI literally into light, there’s public radio specials about people digitally resurrecting their loved ones using AI from the literal images the dead person left behind, and the chief alignment figure at the leading AI company was talking in an interview about the alignment goal of getting AI to think of humanity as its children.
What was pretty implausible in 2019 in just five years is suddenly way more plausible than I thought I’d see in my lifetime, and certainly more than I expected in less than half a decade.
So while I’m not quite sure time travel is messing with events, maybe we’re seeing some AI generated confabulations or a back propagated variation around how the early 21st century actually played out?
Alternatively, sometimes truth really is stranger than fiction.
Well, given there’s relativity built into macro scales and we’ve now found there’s relative facts in quantized scales, it’s a safe bet to say there’s probably no objective measure of how interesting you are or aren’t.
The more correct statement is that you are only interesting or not relative to a given perspective. So what I hope for you is that you are one of the more interesting versions of yourself to yourself.
That sounds like some interesting reading. Any chance you could cite/link something? Having a hard time finding anything related to this particular topic.
So about that…

I do genuinely believe there’s probably multiple versions of me. I hope I’m one of the more interesting ones.
I hope I’m one of the less interesting ones. I know how weird I already am so let’s see how weird I can get! Let’s fucking goooooooo

Anything specifically? There’s like 15 different things that could be cited in the summary above.
