It will be about that time when we have the computational abilities to run are own ancestor simulations. This will cause stacking of simulations upon simulations eating up all the computational resources of the parent reality.
Hopefully by then we will all know the difference between are and our :p
It's very simple. Are "our" is for expressing what belongs to us whereas our "are" is the plural form of is. Glad to help.

Reliability fades over time, it does not improve. It's just writing, there is no correct way to interpret it unless you can actually ask the authors.

You're saying their wine has turned to vinegar but if they like it they like it. Leaves more of the good stuff for us.
