The Problem of Evolution in a Simulated Universe
I have been spending a considerable amount of time lately (2018) thinking about various aspects of different simulated universe hypotheses. One topic that arose in a recent post piqued my interest, how to account for evolution by natural selection in a simulated universe. I wish to address the issue from the most common simulation hypothesis perspective, what I call the simulation hypothesis 1 (SH1) type universe. In SH1 scenarios both the universe and ourselves are 100% simulations. In other words we are 100% simulated beings living in a 100% simulated universe. Immediately it seems a concern reveals itself for evolution by natural selection implies that there be a ‘natural’ world for the selection by fitness to occur in. In SH1 there is nothing natural, everything is simulated so how could evolution actually function in such a universe?

Future Technology
In the future, the advancements in AI will bring about a world where humanity and artificial intelligence become intertwined. Tesla Bots will scale buildings and even be sent to the Moon. AI chatbots will assist people in controlling their lucid dreams, while tunnel diggers construct an underground city on Mars. Floating ocean cities and rotating ring space stations will be powered by fusion energy. This future will mark the official expansion of humans as a multiplanetary species. Lunar hover bikes will roam the lunar surface, and astronauts will enter cryosleep for long journeys. Astronomers will predict the existence of wormholes, and time cloaking devices will manipulate the speed of light to create invisible time. The advanced understanding of black holes will enable planetary data storage, with micro black holes grown in laboratories enclosed within Dyson spheres for energy harvesting. The era of biology and information will come to an end, giving rise to the singularity, where technology progresses faster than human predictions. Embark on a journey into the future and discover the remarkable technologies that await us.

Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence has the potential to surpass our wildest imaginations and bring about radical changes in our daily lives sooner than expected. Rule-based AI, also known as knowledge-based systems, operates on a predefined set of rules rather than intuition or learning. These systems make decisions based on these rules without the ability to adapt or learn from new or unexpected situations. Rule-based systems can be found in various everyday technologies that we often take for granted. For instance, alarm clocks and thermostats operate based on a set of rules. An alarm clock might emit a sound at 7 a.m., while a thermostat will turn on the air conditioner if the room temperature rises above 75°F. Business software also utilizes rule-based AI to automate mundane tasks and generate reports. Additionally, microwaves and car radios employ rule-based AI.

AI in Education
If one were to observe the web traffic to ChatGPT since its release by OpenAI, a notable trend emerges. The visits witnessed a peak in April, followed by a gradual decline, leading some to speculate that AI-generated text might be just a passing fad. However, this initial decline seems to have been a mere hiatus, akin to a summer break. The unexpected surge in usage, particularly by students, has altered perceptions. For approximately 60%, ChatGPT has become an indispensable tool, with a staggering 91% having, at the very least, experimented with it. The prevalence of its use raises questions about the ethics and implications of its integration into educational settings.

The Evolution of PR in the Digital Era: Trends and Predictions
I’ve been in public relations a long time and watched as the industry has evolved. Reflecting on this evolution, it's fascinating to see how far we've come since the days of traditional agencies like Ogilvy & Mather. Back in the day, public relations was heavily reliant on print media, television and radio. Agencies focused on crafting compelling narratives, often through press releases and human interest stories on the nightly news, in local newspapers and multi-page features in national magazines, all of which helped shape public perception and brand image.
