If we weight the simulation-people equally to the real-people, the computer will either choose to neglect us entirely and expend its resources more efficiently by using them on the simulation people or choose to treat us as the test subjects for some of its simulated projects, because there are going to be more simulation people than real people (unless the quality/quantity of the simulation isn’t very good, which has its own problems).
I don’t like that idea, but I also don’t like the idea of weighting certain people higher than others just because some are in a machine.
