Sabine Hossenfelder has an interesting blog post about the popular
idea that we are living in a simulation created by some super-
intelligence somewhere. She is not impressed with the idea....

I think she makes some good points. Maybe Wolfram and Bruno should
listen in....
Feel free to make a summary of her point. I am currently overscheduled
with my job. I might agree with her as I find highly not plausible
that we are in a simulation made by *any* intelligence, as the
observation seem to confirm that we are in the infinity of of
simulation already realized through addition and multiplication in
elementary arithmetic. Of course some observation might change my
mind, but as long as the observation confirms computationalism a
change of mind seems premature.
