Thats an interesting take. Lets assume its a game with at least one player. Trump would be a prime candidate. Now, if someone puts a bullet in his head in minecraft, would that mean the game is over and our existences would be erased on the spot? Would fucking suck!
That would be interesting. It would turn one into a literal god of that reality. But you cant count on the benevolence of beings that can simulate a conciousness at will. Why would they value an individual conciousness if they just played a game in wich said conciousnesses were made to suffer?
If they've achieved that level of technology they're probably in luxury space communism, I have no reason to assume they'd behave like modern capitalists would y'know?
Or there was an enslaved AI controlled by a megacorp that created a technological singularity. I dont think communism is inevitable. Have portable cameras filming each individual while monitoring their communication and combibe that with a strong self learning algorythm and a surveilence state requires almost no manpower. Then give the pictures and facial recognition to some non thinking killer drones (like cops, just... no, like cops. Just keep the cops) and boom, you have a hellhole dystopia with technological progress thanks to AI.

I like to imagine that when a simulation ends that iteration of us is freed to explore the simulation as we like

Oh I don't think it's inevitable either, but I do think its the only outlandish scenario like this I care to even consider for my sanity haha
Yeah, lets be sane haha ha
That's the dream :pensive face:
