Should I in Lesswrong allow the discussion of theology? Obviously not
LW discusses theology all the time, it just uses weird terminology and likes to reinvent the wheel a lot.
The whole FAI problem is better phrased as “We will create God, how do we make sure He likes us?”. The Simulation Hypothesis is straight-up creationism: we were created by some, presumably higher, beings for their purposes. Etc.
I see no meaningful difference between a god and a fully-realized (in the EY sense) AI. And the Simulation Hypothesis is literally creationism. Not necessarily Christian creationism (or any particular historic one), but creationism nonetheless.

You are strawmanning both positions a lot...
No, I’m being quite literal here.

Hell yeah, bro. Sufficiently advanced Superintelligence is indistinguishable from God.
