I don’t understand what’s the problem Eliezer has with advanced computer games. Why not “waste effort” if it’s fun, and all the important work in the real world is anyway getting done?
No, the end of the road for the MMORPGer wouldn’t be staring at an “YOU WIN” screen. That’s not fun, I want to instead go waste some effort in e.g. advanced ancestor simulations, possibly with my memories of “the future” temporarily erased.
