    What if it is all a simulation? What if it isn't a simulation?

    Welcome to episode 15 of our podcast, "The 2 Guys That Don't Know Anything Podcast" hosted by Miles McGrath and David "Dave" Makar.

    Dave and Miles discussed their experiences with AI tools, voice recognition software, and chatbots, highlighting their potential benefits and limitations. They also explored the concept of a simulated reality, drawing parallels with the TV show West World and the idea of a life review from near-death experiences. The conversation also touched on the evolution of work and leisure time, the importance of free will and personal perspective, and the impact of Covid-19 on people's lives.**

    We're two guys who have been friends for over ten years, live in two different states (Florida and New York), and have been doing hour-long chats a few times a month for years. We're both dads, entrepreneurs, active in the volunteer community, and want to give back to the world.

    **In order to save time, we're using Zoom's AI summary tool. It isn't perfect, but who is?
