    This claim assumes that computers CAN get that complex (no indication that they could)

    I mean, if you take an existing physics simulation and just scale up the hardware…

    I would hope that we wouldn’t build such a thing just out of ethical concerns for the inhabitants, but then again we’ve built a giant AI-training network with very little knowledge of if they have some kind of limited consciousness during the process.

      Then what? We have no reason to believe that would cause parts of the simulation to be conscious and think they exist in reality.
