The unfortunate thing about simulation as a ‘hard to decide boundary case’ is that, if we start doing it, we will probably do a LOT of it, which is a reason that its moral implications are likely to matter.
If we start doing it, we’ll have an actual case to look at, instead of handwaving about coulda/woulda/shoulda of entangling people and rocks.
