Note that if your prior is “it’s much cheaper to simulate one person and have most of the rest of the universe be NPC/rougher-than-reality”, then you being unique doesn’t change it by much. This would STILL be true if you were superficially similar to many NPCs.
True, but that wasn’t my prior. My assumption was that if I’m in a simulation, there’s quite a high likelihood that I would be made to be so ‘lucky’ to be the highest on this specific dimension. Like a video game in which the only character has the most Hp.
