Even if it were finite, you can't simulate it completely because the simulation would then be part of the universe, leading to an infinite recursion.
Complete simulation is not necessary. It's adequate when the simulation can help prevent major catastrophic incidents. In local application, it's enough when the simulation can help pursuing our goals more effectively and efficiently.

Signal processing is a necessary task in building a virtual universe.

Wavelets: a mathematical microscope
Quote
Wavelet transform is an invaluable tool in signal processing, which has applications in a variety of fields - from hydrodynamics to neuroscience. This revolutionary method allows us to uncover structures, which are present in the signal but are hidden behind the noise. The key feature of wavelet transform is that it performs function decomposition in both time and frequency domains.

In this video we will see how to build a wavelet toolkit step by step and discuss important implications and prerequisites along the way.

This is my entry for Summer of Math Exposition 2022 ( #SoME2 ).

Aha! I now recognise that we have a subtly different interpretation of virtual universe.

Any system that manipulates data rather than real stuff is working in a virtual universe, the value of which depends on how that maps to the chosen part of the real universe. AI, as currently implemented, just happens to be a bit less choosy than a human about the source, credibility and relevance of its data.

I think I've mentioned earlier, what the virtual universe I referred to. Human's mind is a form of virtual universe. It helps us navigate our lives in our environments. Books and other written media are extended mind, which helped for long term data storage. Digital files offer more dynamic information. Relational databases offer more flexibility, connectivity, and data integrity. Documents Automations through macro and scripts reduced manual efforts to update the information and reduced human errors. AI agents further reduced human involvements in the dynamics of information processings.

The Next Generation Of Brain Mimicking AI
Quote
The tech industry's obsession with AI is hitting a major limitation - power consumption. Training and using AI models is proving to be extremely energy intensive. A single GPT-4 request consumes as much energy as charging 60 iPhones, 1000x more than a traditional Google search. By 2027, global AI processing could consume as much energy as the entire country of Sweden. In contrast, the human brain is far more efficient, with 17 hours of intense thought using the same energy as one GPT-4 request. This has spurred a race to develop AI that more closely mimics biological neural systems.

The high power usage stems from how artificial neural networks (ANNs) are structured with input, hidden, and output layers of interconnected nodes. Information flows forward through the network, which is trained using backpropagation to adjust weights and biases to minimize output errors. ANNs require massive computation, with the GPT-3 language model having 175 billion parameters. Training GPT-3 consumed 220 MWh of energy.

To improve efficiency, research is shifting to spiking neural networks (SNNs) that communicate through discrete spikes like biological neurons. SNNs only generate spikes when needed, greatly reducing energy use compared to ANNs constantly recalculating. SNN neurons have membrane potentials that trigger spikes when a threshold is exceeded, with refractory periods between spikes. This allows SNNs to produce dynamic, event-driven outputs. However, SNNs are difficult to train with standard ANN methods.

SNNs perform poorly on traditional computer architectures. Instead, neuromorphic computing devices are being developed that recreate biological neuron properties in hardware. These use analog processing in components like memristors and spintronic devices to achieve neuron-like behavior with low power. Early neuromorphic chips from IBM and Intel have supported millions of simulated neurons with 50-100x better energy efficiency than GPUs. As of 2024, no commercially available analog AI chips exist, but a hybrid analog-digital future for ultra-efficient AI hardware seems imminent. This could enable revolutionary advances in fields like robotics and autonomous systems in the coming years.
Progress in AI is also happening in hardware front.
When AI can do all necessary tasks that humans engineers do, they can help solve the problems that they've created in the first place
