The common trait that all hypothetical high-fidelity simulated universes possess is the ability to produce high-fidelity simulated universes. And since our current world does not possess this ability, it would mean that either humans are in the real universe, and therefore simulated universes have not yet been created, or that humans are the last in a very long chain of simulated universes, an observation that makes the simulation hypothesis seem less probable.

Otherwise we're not actually a simulation. There's another line of counter argument that various results in QM and computing theory would suggest that it's mathematically impossible for the universe to be simulated on a computer (i.e. the parent universe would have to look very different from ours vs ours in the future). But I don't recall the arxiv paper.

- vlovich123 2y agoOf course it is. Scientifically the simulation “hypothesis” is actually the simulation idea and isn’t scientifically valid yet seems to be treated as such for some reason.
