gollark: AI is important, I mean, but people don't understand it much but think they do.
gollark: I think those are also mostly stupid.
gollark: It might also turn out that society is impractical to simulate over long timespans, like the weather.
gollark: And the existence of the simulators would make them probably not very good, since they'd need to simulate *themselves* or leave out important data.
gollark: Yes, that would actually be very hard.
