If simulating things doesn't add measure to them, why do you believe you're not a Boltzmann brain just because lawful versions of you are much more commonly simulated by your universe's physics?
it does add measure, but probably a tiny fraction of it's total measure, making it more of "making it slightly more real" then "creating" it. But that's semantics.
Edit: and it may very well be the case that other types of "looking at" also add measure, such as accessing a highly optimized/cryptographically obscuficated simulation through a straightforward analog interface.
