It’s not just about the USB sticks—to me that seems inert. But if he’s running you off those USB sticks for (let’s say) a few hours every day, then you could (in fact there is a 1000/1001 chance that you will) wake up tomorrow morning and find yourself running from one of those drives, and know that there is a clear horizon of a few hours on the subjective experiences you can anticipate. This is a prospect which I, at least, would find terrifying.
Maybe Omega exists in a higher spatial dimension and just takes an instantaneous snapshot of the universal finite state automata you exist in (as a p-zombie).
