    The only thing one could do with knowledge of being in a simulation, is trying to find bugs and exploits.
    From now on, I expect anyone claiming we live in a simulation to have a working perpetual motion device, faster that light communication, or something similarly impressive. If they don’t, their claim is meaningless useless.

      Just because they can’t find exploits in a simulation sophisticated enough to run a seemingly infinite universe doesn’t mean there’s no simulation.

        I know, but otherwise there is no use for the knowledge that we live in a simulation. Unless someone can contact the outside of course.

        No, but it does mean they have no evidence of being in a simulation.

        Which is about as meaningless as saying we live in a universe dreamed up by Azathoth.
