If we live in a simulation, I think it’s more likely to be running for entertainment than science.

The simulation hypothesis has gained serious traction over the past two decades. The logic is straightforward: as technology advances, simulated realities will eventually become indistinguishable from base reality, and since there can be countless simulations but only one base reality, the odds suggest we’re in a simulation.

But while most discussions about this focus on scientific motivations—I suspect a more straightforward purpose: entertainment.
