      Not the VR part, but what if you could construct a scenario where all the power seeking people end up in what they think is a bunker where they are controlling everything, but actually it’s one of many prison cells where the scenario dictates you have to stay inside or lose your grip on power. You can only walk out if you decide you don’t want to rule the world. A prison without locks or guards.

      Maybe we already have, and we’re the AI agents designed to fool them into thinking they’re still in the real world.

      Hope the real us are doing well somewhere.
