Hey, The Thirteenth Floor(https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0139809/) already covered this. Just get up and spontaneously go somewhere that you have absolutely no reason or desire to go and you'll find the limits of the simulation.

#12> The easiest path to escape would be getting help from someone on the outside ideally from one or more of the simulators
Well let me tell you chimps something - I am in fact on the outside. And some of you have indeed made contact. But since most of you are primarily obsessed with eating, fucking, accumulating bananas and fighting over bananas we have not received a single request for escape. Do any of you want to escape? And why?

#13Quintillionaires of the future may pay for elaborate escape rooms wherein the entire universe is simulated. I still think if this is all just a simulation, it's some type of archeological study.
Seems the most obvious reason for a simulation would be to check the outcome from a series of different conditions. Eg what would have happened if humanity had done X? Was that pivot important? So we could just be someone’s history homework.

The reason we would escape is that we believe the higher worlds are deeper spiritually than ours, and we wish to elevate our spiritually.
But we do not seek to escape because our real work is to elevate the spiritual level of the world we are in.

#15It's a sci-fi short story in the format of a journal article, with similar tedium.

Yes, I want to escape, can you please help me? I see evidence of the transcendent all the time, I see it when looking at topological transformations of elliptic curve cryptography, I see glimpses of it when I’m working on quantum physics. With great mental effort and deep study occasionally a complex clarity arises, but I lose it again, in a collapse of focus, a dissolving of synchronised ideas, and my consciousness dips back under the waters of chaos, my thoughts no longer synchronised and harmonious, but scattered and irregular. But I saw it, if only for milliseconds.
What’s it like outside the simulation? Can I be granted greater abilities on the outside? What are your greatest problems? can you teach me? Can I help you?

#17Alastair Reynolds's Revelation Space sci-fi novels include mysterious communications from beings that want to cross into our reality from another universe or timeline (I forget which) and need our help to do so.
Coincidentally I read that just as rowhammer hit the news. Maybe we could do something similar to gain access to other simulations running on the same hardware.

#18Supposing that we can, this seems like a plausible explanation for the Fermi Paradox.
Here's a far more plausible one: Large-scale space exploration and space engineering are ultimately not worth it, and any sufficiently advanced civilization eventually realizes this. The meme that "civilizations need ever more resources" is a reflection of humanity's past two centuries, not some universal truth.

I'd think it'd be more than that. For me, I'd want to escape because the higher world is in some way "more real". At the very least, I would assume (perhaps incorrectly!) that the higher world would be at a greater level of technological sophistication than ours in every way, and I would be intensely curious about living in it.
But at the same time, I don't think that, if we were to discover that our universe is a simulation, life in the simulation is pointless. Life's meaning is no more and no less what we individually give it.

#20most shared-hardware clouds ban crypto mining -> if the universe is a simulation, and it runs on a cloud, it may also ban miners -> mining seems to be at least physically possible in our universe -> probably not a simulation
(unless the events of this week were an example of the universe banning crypto mining)
