What's the probability that you'd be in a tropical paradise in one minute?

Depends on whether you consider the simulated people "you" or not. Also depends on whether "in one minute" is by our world clock, or clocks in future time, by our world clocks, saying one minute from now.

By "me" I consder this particular instance of me, which is feeling that it sits in a room and which is making such promise - which might of course be a simulated mind.

Now that I think about it, it seems to be a problem with a cohesive definition of identity and notion of "now".
