Interestingly, if we are in a simulation, it still could simulate the end of the world, and the share of such simulations should be large by the reasons I explain below. Thus on the observable level, SIA Doomsday still holds, despite the fact we are likely in simulation.
Th reason for the large number of “Doomsday simulations” is that any aliens will try to solve Fermi paradox numerically, as they want to learn what is the probability to meet other aliens. So they will simulate many civilisation’s histories around the time of high x-risks (that is 20-21 century in our world). Not only their own past but the history of any other possible civilisations. So we could be simulated by aliens which explore the ways how the worlds tend to end.
If there is no other reason to create simulations, such Fermi-paradox-solving-simulations will be most numerous. Other reasons, like gaming, may also include the end of the world as a bad out come in “world saving game”.
