ISTR they've already done a rudimentary demonstration that our universe can't be simulated on hardware "the same size as" itself (it's what Rudy Rucker called "gnarly") The universe is "too big" to be simulated inside another universe that runs on the same kind of physicshttps://twitter.com/cstross/status/1332788660954075136 …

It was this rah-rah shit about Moore's Law making computers ever more powerful "We can simulate so many things right now that it's easy to imagine in a hundred years our descendants will be able to simulate ANYTHING Why wouldn't they be simulating their own history"

The point of it was to imagine that God is just a bunch of ordinary humans like us who would have the same motivations for creating the simulation as we would if we had that power There is, it turns out, no reason to think this and tons of evidence against it
