This is what’s rather unsatisfactory with the notion of subjective experience as ‘computation’ - optimizations that do not affect the output may be unsafe from the inside perspective—even if the beings inside simulator sometimes work on the problem, the hyper-compiler might optimize too much out. Essentially, you end up with ‘zombie’ hypercomputers that don’t have anyone inside, and ‘non zombie’ hypercomputers inside of which beings really live.
