Maybe I am unfamiliar with the specifics of simulated reality. But I don’t understand how it is assumed (or even probable, given Occam’s Razor) that if we are simulated then there are copies of us. What is implausible about the possibility that I’m in a simulation and I’m the only instance of me that exists?
In the Tegmark IV multiverse all consistent possibilities exist so there is always a universe in which you are not in a simulation. The only meaningful question is what universes you should pay more attention to.
