Edited to add: I should think that being a simulation is an existential risk.
Just being is an existential risk. Counterfactuals are much safer.
Do counterfactuals just exist eternally in idea space, or do they need for someone to think of them?
Well, they don’t exist at all, so the risk that they will stop existing is very low.
