So given that we’re clearly on a trajectory to have games that are indistinguishable from reality, and those games could be played on any set-top box or on a PC or whatever, and there would probably be billions of such computers or set-top boxes, it would seem to follow that the odds that we’re in base reality is one in billions.

Holographic principle is cooler than simulation hypothesis, because rather than being speculation, it is provable (and pretty much proven) that the 3Dness of the universe is some illusory bullshit projected from a 2D surface.
