Assuming our simulation is not designed to auto-scale (and our Admins don’t know how to download more RAM), what kind of side effects could we see in the world if the underlying system hosting our simulation began running out of resources?

    The way I see it, it would be coupled with the tool and not the intention someone has with it. So every microwave would render it properly at all time, as well as most electronics just by their very nature, regardless of what the person plans to do with it.

    Actually I think they can probably just approximate the microwave stuff and just keep the electrical tools rendering like oscilloscopes.

    They only need to render for things that give an exact measurement, the microwave trick has a 3% tolerance which is huge in the scope of things.

    It seems like a lot but it’s less than simulating every single atom imo.

      It’s more than electronics. Every piece of diffraction grating could be used to make a wave interference measurement. Every fiber optic line in the world- because bend it too much and the wave doesn’t stay bound inside.

      But that still doesn’t get rid of the AI part because you need something watching to know when an electronic device is created by anyone everywhere in the universe and understand that that device is a type of device that could be used to reveal detailed measurements.
