What people are saying
Several discussions emphasize the philosophical depth of the article, such as references to Baudrillard's 'Simulacres et Simulation' and questions about authenticity and reality, demonstrating active engagement with complex concepts. The tone varies from reflective and analytical to playful, which fosters a curiosity-driven environment, but the overall tone indicates an exploratory rather than definitive influence.
Most posts acknowledge the relevance of Baudrillard’s work and the publication, with some explicitly agreeing with the connection between simulation and the uncanny valley, indicating moderate to strong support.
Multiple discussions mention the philosophical concepts and recent relevance, showing high curiosity about the topic and its implications.
Posts involve various levels of participation—some share references to the article, others speculate about the nature of simulation and simulacrum, and some connect it to broader discussions in healthcare simulation and digital culture, reflecting deep en
While some posts highlight the importance of the topic in academic and practical contexts, the overall perceived impact remains moderate, as conversations tend to be exploratory rather than decisively transformative.
Abstract in brief
- The text explores the concept of the "uncanny valley," where increasingly realistic virtual humans or objects evoke feelings of eeriness or discomfort.
- It contrasts simulation (replicating reality closely) with simulacrum (a copy that has lost its connection to reality) to analyze how virtual representations are perceived.
- The discussion highlights psychological and philosophical questions about authenticity, perception, and the boundaries between real and artificial.]

Just over 40 yrs since Baudrillard published ‘Simulacres et Simulation’. His work has never been more relevant #simulation #AI #ChatGPT We are ⬆️ living in a constructed world, which has become hyperreal & increasingly indistinguishable https://t.co/oYJCeVwOx9 @MurphingtonPost https://t.co/n5VZeVqzsa https://t.co/5SoAnylu16
Do robots creep you out? What about puppets, or CGI humans? Something strange happens when things become too human without quite making it all the way - we start to hate them… It’s The Uncanny Valley, and you’ll find a lot of weird things in it. https://t.co/7DUAXUh7UT https://t.co/XqRpkfDqZm

Understanding the Uncanny Valley and Human-Like Robots
Robots are becoming more humanlike but something weird happens when things become too human without quite making it all the way. This is the uncanny valley, where realistic virtual humans evoke discomfort.
@SEMES_ Simulation vs simulacrum in my humble opinion. Are we happy that we didn’t hurt those unwillingly involved? What if we hurt ourselves in the process? Too many questions. https://t.co/zOVTR2PHr2 https://t.co/JjnLonKWvw

Hey #FOAMsim, looking for your weekend coffee-sipping read? This is it. While doing so think about your own philosophical orientation to sim. Are you a modernist? post-modernist? Something else? Does your program/design/delivery match up??? https://t.co/AzvDohGrFX
