I’m actually very sympathetic to this comment, I even bring this up in the post as one of the most serious potential objections. Everyone else in these comments seems to have a really strong assumption that the AI will behave optimally, and tries to reason whether the inter-universal trade goes through then. I think it’s quite plausible that the AI is just not terribly thoughtful about this kind of thing and just says “Lol, simulations and acausal trade are not real, I don’t see them”, and kills you.
