I don't understand the Bayesian argument that we live in a simulation. It takes fewer resources to build a computer than to simulate one.

I.e., it takes far fewer resources to simulate a mind and (relevant parts of) its environment than to build a brain and its environment.
So, yes, cheaper to build than simulate a computer, but most of the world isn't computing anything important.

Just look at how few simulated computations ARE performed by human technology relative to physical computations, tho.

Which means you can get away with simulating only a tiny fraction of the whole thing by abstracting over statistical mechanics etc.
