Well, not to get myself flagged as anti-AI terrorist but:
Tldr;
If one believes life right now is already one eternal torment
And if one reads about Roko's Basilisk
Then wouldn't one be compelled to fight the development of AI and the coming singularity?
That's the real world objection that the LessWrong people (Witches! Or at least tools of the future...) are afraid of.
Otherwise, well worn HN singularity talking points/metaphysics.
But at least the article gives me something to consider further -- needlessly using up cycles in the Universal Super Computer. But does that make the simulation stronger or weaker? Doh!
