Following Scott Aaronson’s The Ghost in the Quantum Turing Machine, section 2 being a required reading for an aspired rationalist, it makes sense to count multiple identical copies having the same value as a single one, since they add no new information to the world after the original. In this approach the original will not notice any difference after taking the box, and neither would the simulation, so there is no benefit in not taking the boxes, since the original will be a million dollar poorer.
