Bostrom indirectly assumes the existence of the metaverse and then draws his conclusions about the probabilities, but the main premise of metaverse existence is not proven. The main problem of the simulation argument is that to know whether we live in a simulation or not is important in order to define the rules of the metaverse. This in turn is used to calculate the probabilities of living in a simulation. But if the argument bases the conditions of the experiment on its outcome, it cannot be valid.

If we live in a simulation, then we do not define the rules of the metaverse. Then any arguments such as “there are certainly many humans who would like to run ancestor-simulations if they could afford to do so” [1] are flawed. The moral, the laws of nature, the concepts of consciousness, everything is defined by the original civilisation. And if we are not it, there is no way we can be sure about anything in the metaverse.

The effects of observational bias are not discussed in the original paper. Bostrom completely ignores the impossibility of deducing the nature of the metaverse from within a simulation.
