I agree with your first two points, but as to the 3rd point, what else would you do with a planet sized computer? There just isn't that much interesting stuff to do with that much computing power besides simulation.
- jere 10y agoScience of course! Maybe you simulating the entire universe for science is a thing you want to do, but there's no reason to think you'd want to (or even be able to without simulating the earlier bits) t=4.5 billion years rather than t=0. And the numbers I gave only allow you to simulate roughly in realtime, so... your civilization has to stick around for another 4.5 billion years to get to us.
