Valuing a day’s hard labor is pretty difficult for me even in the current world—this varies by many orders of magnitude across time, specific type of labor, what other labor I’ve committed to and what leisure opportunities I have.
By “compared to what”, I meant “what happens to those computing resources if they’re not hosting copies of me”, and “what alternate uses could I put the results of my day of labor in this universe”? Describe my expected experiences in enough detail for both possible choices (make the sim or do something else), and then I can tell you which I prefer.
Of course, I’ll be lying, as I have no idea who this guy is who lives in that world and calls himself me.
