It's an intriguing experiment. It works far better than I expected. I would have preferred a system that actually creates code on the fly. It's a bit like the Turing test part two but for reality, in this case in the very narrow experience of a desktop PC.
It's like the brain in a vat/evil demon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain_in_a_vat.
You're picking up what I'm putting down. You may also like other epistemological arguments like Chung Tzu's butterfly, Boltzmann brains, last Thursdayism, Plato's cave, and so on. Most knowledge, including scientific knowledge is axiomatic aka built from axioms / assumptions. Like I'm assuming the time before now actually happened and it's not the case that reality came into being as is just now.
For those who want the technical breakdown:
Thank you! I couldn't believe it when they cut it off right at the explaination
The entire video I honestly had no idea if this was a joke or not. Even now I am not completely convinced, but I do think it's real.
