Stemming from the simulation hypothesis by Bostrom, my argument is that in the post AGI world, the GDP of simulated worlds will vastly outgrow the GDP of base reality. In this context, the engine that powers the simulation becomes the engine of creation of much of the future GDP.
Hope you enjoy the read and give me feedbacks!
