by re-phrasing Clarke's Law. Could God be Drelb, the famous
hyper-intelligence from
the Sombrero Galaxy. If this is so, what can we do about it?
If Drelb is hyper-intelligent, it can simulate all of Earth and learn everything about
us and everything we do.
That seems inconsistent with the idea that "we" are infinitely many threads of computation
in multiverses. FPI would make us random to Drelb too.

Say hi to it and it can hear you.
Drelb can even "copy" us into his galaxy remotely, after discovering us. So
the existence of such hyper-intelligences, no matter how remote (even in entirely
causally separate "universes") is not something that can have no effect on you or your
future.
