There are only a few conditions under which it could possibly matter to me that I’m in a simulation. Among them:
The simulation is buggy. Under some conditions that are reachable from within the sim, it’s possible to cheat at physics by overflowing some buffer or exploiting some other software bug.
The simulators are watching and interacting. There’s someone watching me right now who has the power to change a few runtime variables and cause a kilo of gold coins, a kilo of Purple Kush, and a verthandi to appear next to me. (They are cordially invited to do so.)
