Just do it this way:
- Assume you pick "sim" => calculate the probability of being a simulation conditional on picking "sim" => calculate the expected utility conditional on picking "sim" and on the calculated probabilties.
- Assume you pick "don't sim" => calculate the probability of being a simulation conditional on picking "don't sim" => calculate the expected utility conditional on picking "don't sim" and on the calculated probabilities.
Then just pick whichever of the two has the highest expected utility. No infinite regress there!
