> I find the subject very fascinating, because if we're in a simulation I'd expect bugs. And if there are bugs, there is the possibility of exploits.

Ultimately though there'd be no way to tell bugs apart from legitimate physics because we lack a basis for comparison. If we discover that we can, with enough trickery, generate infinite free energy or something, that's not evidence of anything other than our model of the universe being incomplete.

You're thinking too small. Think privilege escalation and escapes.
