It's always the worst people who believe this too. The only interpretation of Simulation Theory that I will even remotely entertain is the one that we're all information stuck on the surface of a black hole, because it's the only one that isn't just there to feed tech bros' god complex.

I've never even heard of a simulation theory that remotely fits this mold.

The typical interpretation is that we're part of an ancestor simulation run by future humans / machines.

How that feeds anyone's God complex is beyond me.

It's a fantasy that puts techbros in the position of god.
