If they are simulating all of the potential branches, wouldn't they expect that agents on at least some of the Everett branches will catch on and try to get out of the box.

You suggest that you haven't seen anyone who is trying to get out of the box yet...?

I grew up being taught that I would escape from the box by dying in a state of grace. Now I seem to be in a community that teaches me to escape from the box by dying at a sufficiently low temperature.

Edit: "dying", not "dieing". We are not being Gram stained here!

That made me laugh.

But personally I hope we just figure out all this Singularity box stuff pretty soon.
