"The hypothesis is meant to be understood in a literal sense... that there is some advanced civilization who built a lot of computers and that what we experience is an effect of what's going on inside one of those computers." —— 这个假说应被从字面意义理解……存在某个先进文明建造了大量计算机,而我们所经历的一切,都是其中一台计算机内部运行所产生的效果。
"It says at least one of these three is true." —— 它(模拟论证)表明以下三种可能性中至少有一种是真实的。
"I think it would be for my view that it would be sufficient, say, if you had a computation that was identical to the computation in the human brain down to the level of neurons." —— 以我的观点,我认为如果存在一个与人类大脑计算过程完全相同的计算,精确到神经元层面,那就足以产生意识了。
"If you have a simulation with 100 billion neurons connected in the same way as in the human brain... then I think that would be conscious." —— 如果你有一个模拟,其中包含了与人脑连接方式相同的1000亿个神经元……那么我认为它就会产生意识。
"If you actually have no way of telling which one you are, then you should assign this kind of uniform probability." —— 如果你实际上无法分辨自己属于哪一类,那么你就应该赋予每种可能性均匀的概率。
