It seems to me that the sadistic simulator would fill up their suffering simulator to capacity. But is it worse for two unique people to be simulated and suffering compared to the same person simulated and suffering twice? If we say copies suffering is less bad than unique minds, If they didn’t have enough unique human minds, they could just apply birth/genetics and grow some more.
This is more of a simulating-minds-at-all problem than a unique-minds-left-to-simulate problem.
