Thanks for the comment btw.

But it doesn't make "what" more real? The argument, the reality we inhabit? How "real" or simulated the world is forms part of the conjecture.

I would agree the "weak" bit is that it's as speculative as saying that god exists but I don't think a comment on human behaviour is weak because is anthropocentric.

No it’s weak because it aims to explain reality as a simulation for humans (whereas humans are a tiny irrelevant part of reality), and it does not fundamentally differ from past faiths and religions of humans being played by the gods.
