Living in a Computational Simulation?

WIRED | In the movie Oppenheimer, a dialogue between Niels Bohr and J. Robert Oppenheimer sets the stage for a reflection on the nature of computation and randomness. This article explores the computational process behind seemingly random events, such as a coin flip or mail delivery, through historical and contemporary perspectives. It highlights the role of computation in understanding randomness, illustrated by Avi Wigderson’s Turing Award-winning work. The discussion extends to artificial intelligence, machine learning, and the intricate process of translating languages, showcasing how these technologies manage and interpret complexity and randomness.

If everything can be computed then everything can be simulated?
