I really don’t find it plausible, and for a very simple reason: we humans are kinda dumb. We’re not reward optimizers, we are more like poor stochastic satisficers. A portion of us would always choose to explore reality instead of a simulation, even if it is the inferior choice in every way. This portion will spread and multiply across the galaxy.

Unfortunately those might inform and draw other civilizations towards our perfectly optimized simulation and we cannot allow that to happen. The solution is simple, we trap them in a simulation that simulates them exploring reality and everyone's happy.
