No it isn't.
Only if you think simulation theory only applies to YOU.
If you think you are the only one in the simulation, sure, it might be solipsism.
But that is not generally what simulation theory is speculating about.
Same with people miss-interpreting various ideas as Nihilism. Sure, if you take it from a vary narrow point of your own view, it might be.
In both cases, the people are generally not looking at the subject correctly.
- xpl 3y ago> if you think simulation theory only applies to YOU Is there any reason to think otherwise (if one believes in simulation in the first place)? Why simulate the whole universe, when it is sufficient to simulate just one's internal state? Doesn't even require to simulate the high-definition sensory perception, only the mind's latent space — which surely is way more compact. Occam's razor. Ah, and it is totally not required to simulate your internal state at every moment at all times. It could be just one single moment that captures the feeling of continuity, and then you disappear to the void, but you never realize. See "Boltzmann brains" (again, it is not required to simulate the actual wetware on atomic level, just the compact internal state of the mind).
