Why would the simulators have no interest in interacting with their creation?  Why are we forced into a Deist model of simulators?  The fact that our universe shows no sign of an outside agent caring about the outcome of this "simulation" indicates, to me, that ... there IS NO external "creator", and the universe is NOT a simulation by any reasonable definition.<br><br><br>I love Bostrom, but this argument falls so flat for me.
