My response to the question "why would we create a simulation like this?" is what if this is a simulation but not a simulation which was purposely created? When AI goes through a generative process to design something like a more efficient antenna, for example, it creates and tests thousands of permutations, gleaning insights from each generation to factor into the next iteration. What if we're just an iteration in a massive volley of simulations? What if we're just some backwater spin-off glitch that hasn't even been detected as the simulation isn't even about us? So many possibilities

Kinda sounds like the 7 Tenets of TST

Still looking for booty though
