The problem is that any useful prior must be based on Occam’s razor, and Occam’s razor + first-person POV creates the same problems as with the universal prior. And deliberately filtering out simulation hypotheses seems quite difficult, because it’s unclear to specify it. See also this.

Aha, that’s the difficulty I was overlooking. Specifically, I didn’t consider that the approach under consideration here requires us to formally define how we’re filtering them out.
