TLDR: A group of people are traveling to completely random places to try and cause “glitches” in the “Matrix” we live in.
It does pose an interesting question: If we are living in a simulation.. can we hack our way out? There was an old Star Trek episode where Captain Picard’s holodeck game “Sherlock” get set at such an extreme difficulty level that Moriarty was smart enough to escape and take over the ship. Fun idea.. but possible? The only way I think it would be possible would be if you could convince a character from the outside to let you out. That’s one of the fears of a contained super-intelligence… humans can’t even make it through the day without being tricked by bogus emails. How long would it take a smart AI to convince them to let it out to “save the world”?
