Hacking The Simulation

According to this piece, 2 billionaires (Elon Musk together with Peter Thiel?) desire to tending suspension humanity out of a giant estimator simulation.
"Many people inwards Silicon Valley bring move out obsessed alongside the simulation  hypothesis, the declaration that what nosotros sense every bit reality is inwards fact fabricated inwards a computer; 2 tech billionaires bring gone therefore far every bit to secretly engage scientists to happen breaking us out of the simulation."
In this post, I indulge this view, together with inwards the spirit of Apr 1st, I move out alongside it.

Hacking the simulation past times breaking its multitenancy together with overloading the VMs

What practise the aliens computers await like? Do they bring racks together with datacenters? Or are their computers to a greater extent than at the molecular/analog level, together with avoid the inefficiency of overlaying a digital layer over the physical one. Quantum bits seem therefore bizarre that I intend it follows straight from an elemental/basic build of the aliens' simulation hardware.

Anyways... Since these simulations are really detailed, together with fifty-fifty simulations of branching multi-verses, they should bring distributed clusters dedicated to the simulation. And if they are worth their salt, they should live on using multitenancy to foreclose underutilization of hardware together with trim down costs of these heavy simulations.

Is this simulation at the somebody level? I intend it is at to the lowest degree at that degree if non at a to a greater extent than finer level. Anything larger would live on every bit good coarse. So let's bet on the somebody level.

If this is a distributed multitenancy deployment simulation, many of us (i.e., many people) part the same automobile for the simulation. And nosotros are overpacked based on the statistical likelihood that when some of us are using to a greater extent than resources some others role less resources. This agency nosotros co-inhabit the same automobile inwards a crowded agency without whatever problem. This multitenancy setup helps move out along computation costs low, a fraction of what it would live on without using multitenancy.

Based on these assumptions, nosotros tin drive to play a joke on the multitenancy organization inwards guild to overload some  machines. The play a joke on is to kickoff practise nothing, together with allow the load-balancing organization pack agency every bit good many of us together inwards the machines. If, say, 100 meg of us practise nix (maybe past times closing our eyes together with meditating together with thinking nothing), together with then the forecasting load-balancing algorithms volition pack to a greater extent than together with to a greater extent than of us inwards the same machine. The side past times side stride is, then, for all of us to larn really active really apace (doing something that requires intense processing together with I/O) all at the same time. This has a peril to overload some machines, making them run curt of resources, beingness unable to catch the computation/communication needed for the simulation. Upon beingness overloaded, some basic checks volition start to live on dropped, together with the organization volition live on opened upwardly for exploitation inwards this period.

*wink, wink* Maybe this is why @elonmusk invest his fourth dimension on its Twitter describe of piece of job concern human relationship to achieve to many millions of followers. He keeps posting memes, rap singles, together with controversial statements together with keeps increasing his follower count. Maybe 1 twenty-four hours he tin convince his followers together with coordinate them to laissez passer the higher upwardly scheme a try.

How practise nosotros exploit the organization inwards this vulnerable window?

In this vulnerable window, nosotros tin drive to exploit the concurrency cornercases. The organization may non live on able to perform all those checks inwards an overloaded state.

Maybe together with then nosotros should drive to honor cornercases similar Douglas Adams's description of flying: You outflow forward, together with and then piece going downwards y'all larn distracted past times something, together with missy the set down accidentally, together with that is how y'all fly.

We tin also drive to suspension causality. Maybe past times catching a ball earlier someone throws it to you. Or nosotros tin drive to assault this past times playing alongside the timing, trying to brand things asynchronous. Time is already a niggling funny inwards our universe alongside the special relativity theory, together with mayhap inwards this vulnerable period, nosotros tin stretch these differences farther to suspension things, or purchase a lot of time.

What are other ways to hack the organization inwards this vulnerable window? Can nosotros hack the simulation past times performing a buffer overflow? But where are the integers, floats inwards this simulation? What are the information types? How tin nosotros practise a typecast error, or integer overflow?

Can nosotros hack past times fuzzing the input? Like past times looking at things funny. By talking to the birds or jumping into the walls to confuse them.

What are other possible ways? I am non good versed alongside cracking/exploiting estimator systems. Come on, nosotros should all practise our parts.
