Note that the existence of computers, software, and, implicitly, programmers, is taken as uncontroversially given but the entirety of our physical existence is being called into question. Any hypothetical with not one bit (see what I did there?) of supporting evidence doesn’t deserve any consideration. Except as a joke.
Well if life as we know it, is just a computer program. It has some really bad programing and awful algorithms. It’s the Biggest programming mistake in history of the universe.
“I know what you’re thinking, ‘cause right now I’m thinking the same thing. Actually, I’ve been thinking it ever since I got here: Why oh why didn’t I take the BLUE pill?”
And some are “Pre-Alpha” (Cliff, Brewster, etc.), and some are “Concept Art”, before the work actually even starts (Gal Gadot, Scarlett Johansson, Pamela Mae Snap, etc.)…
I don’t think we are in a simulation but somehow I get the feeling we are in one those historical Covid Pandemic re-enactments. Worse, I think we’re on the fourth time around. :) :( :( :(

If reality is just a simulation, then perhaps nothing really matters.
On the other hand, if reality is real, then potentially everything matters.

I have doubts that any simulation could end up with something as goofy as human reality.

Or Dilbert’s theory that the creator is a cartoonist and everyone is just a character in the strip.

So, what you’re saying is, our world is a giant Bethesda game?

I commented about a week ago that I didn’t think the universe had passed inspection. This provides more evidence.

I couldn’t help thinking of this:
In the Beginning – The Moody Blues
I think, I think I am, therefore I am, I think.
[Establishment:] Of course you are my bright little star,
I’ve miles
And miles
Of files
Pretty files of your forefather’s fruit
And now to suit our
Great computer,
You’re magnetic ink.
I’m more than that, I know I am, at least, I think I must be.
[Inner Man:] There you go man, keep as cool as you can.
Face piles
And piles
Of trials
With smiles.
It riles them to believe
That you perceive
The web they weave
And keep on thinking free.

More like a lab prototype than a beta version.
