Simulation Theory argues that errors in reading other minds can arise from a bias mismatch: the observer and the person observed are not protecting the same beliefs. Systematic error may reflect different pressures towards self-deception.

A single-layer Transformer can calculate 4 million relationships at once, yet still fail to copy a simple pattern. Why? Because it lacks the two-layer relay of an emergent induction head. How token vectors store their own history:

Cryptographic reward tokens stop an AI from wireheading its own reward channel. Nick Bostrom pointed out why they still fail: an unforgeable token just shifts the attack surface to the human judge who decides when to hand it over.

Simulation Theory distinguishes two accounts of how we read minds: one treats beliefs and desires as an acquired theory; the other locates crucial machinery in innate modules. Same capacity, very different architecture.

Simulation Theory argues that failures to understand other minds need not imply a damaged mentalising module. Differences in affect, salience and availability may distort simulation instead. The mechanism matters.

Virtue ethics is a patch for human hardware limits—bounded memory and slow calculation. Scale an AI past those limits and you'd think the epistemic problem vanishes. It doesn't. It just migrates into a nastier architectural trap.

The Burden Doesn't Vanish. It Migrates.
Why scaling an AI's compute past human cognitive limits doesn't solve the epistemic problem of moral choice.

A machine speaks. A patient cannot. Who is conscious?

The deeper question is not what each system does, but whether anyone is there to experience it.

Simulation Theory spots the catch in dispassionate prediction: to anticipate how committed fans or managers will respond to contrary evidence, we may need to model their biases as well as the facts.

Simulation Theory spots the catch in a tidy experimental fix: removing the time lag still does not make watching equivalent to participating. The deeper issue is a mismatch in engagement—and, with it, bias.
