You squeeze your probability mass into universes where the problem is solved, and therefore you are more likely to find yourself existing in those universes. What this means for your actual experience, is that as soon as you turn the quantum suicide machine on, you should expect to see it output a correct answer and not kill you. You can never observe the machine output an incorrect answer, nor can you observe your own death.
>Which does make it strange that quantum physics does not seem to give us any way to "get at" all this computation that must be going on behind the scenes.
Why should it?
Also if parallel worlds can interact with each other and aren't entirely separate, then we probably wouldn't exist. The first parallel world to develop a way of taking over other parallel universes would win. The optimal self replicator that can spread through all universes would take over everything.
