If the computer code running this simulation is that good to never have bugs, then the simulation is functionally identical to the meatspace real universe from our POV. So I don't know if there's any point thinking about it other than idle curiosity. But I do worry that for some simulation believers it could become an excuse to have less empathy towards fellow humans.

If "the simulation" and "reality" have the same properties, what would "being in the simulation" even mean? A thing/person/etc would "be" in both by definitions, be in neither by others, etc.

Idle curiosity is drives a lot of human behaviour, particularly in philosophy!
