seems to me to have all the components of a right answer! …and some of a wrong answer. (we can safely assume that the future civ discards all the AIs that can tell they’re simulated a priori; that’s an easy tell.)
I’m heartened somewhat by your parenthetical pointing out that the AI’s prior on simulation is low account of there being too many AIs for simulators to simulate, which I see as the crux of the matter.

Yeah, that’s fair. It seemed more relevant to this specific hypothetical. I wasn’t really answering the question in its proper context and wasn’t applying steelmans or adjustments based on the actual full context of the conversation (and wouldn’t have written a comment without doing so, but was intrigued by your challenge).
