This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Do you have a source for this claim?

For what claim?

If you mean the fact that we have true randomness, just read about how secure random number generators work, like urandom. It's not some industry secret, they're in every computer and likely every smartphone out there, and have been around for twenty years at least.

That having true randomness in machines means the study is debunked?

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

If we're talking about the same thing, then afaik their whole claim is that we aren't in a simulation, because we have true randomness which can't be created in software. But it's not necessary to create true randomness in software to have it in said software.

Although I haven't read the full paper, and am going off what people wrote about it in comments.

If you haven't read it. Why should I trust your opinion?

[–] SlurpingPus@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Then don't trust it, what the fuck is it to me.

I love this answer, it tells me a lot of positive things about you.

It also tells me that like me you are oh so weary.

Btw, it's obvious from your questions that you haven't read the paper either, so this whole thread seems like pointless wankery.
