Philosophically, I'm just not sure what simulation theory is supposed to achieve. Say we're living in a simulation, sure. For one, this simulation seems to have the exact degree of randomness and black swans as the real world -- there is no evidence of a single dev who has a plan for this sim, if we're all algos then it's all unsupervised learning.

And secondly, more importantly, what existential problem is simulation theory meant to solve? If we're in a sim, we were created by a society that had all our problems, all our questions, and our random allotment of rare events that their individuals and governments reacted poorly to. They were trying to deal with social issues and unknown-unknowns the best they could. What possible things could their existence teach us about the universe, and what can we teach them?
