And my point was that you have no way, absolutely no way of knowing if
AI has a reason for doing X or not unless you simulated it on faster
hardware, and then you’d have no way of predicting if the faster machine
had a reason for doing X unless you simulated it on a even faster
machine, and then you’d have no way…
