2) Because they are running in computers. They are less technologically mature than us, but the simulation is at ~1000x speed or whatever. Once we give them the keys they could very quickly overtake us.
3) Because they are running in computers. That directly protects them from collapse. And it means that they are in a much better place relative to the AI they build—for example they won’t think much slower than the AI.
The situation is similar to what would happen if we had implemented efficient brain uploading.
Would this approach have any advantages vs brain uploading? I would assume brain uploading to be much easier than running a realistic evolution simulation, and we would have to worry less about alignment.

You’d only do this if it was cheaper than uploading.
