I don't even pretend to fully understand most of this simulation theory stuff, but that one is very entertaining to me.
Making some entity work a 9-5 job in a computer simulation is a pretty crappy version of “torture” for such a smart being to come up with IMO

But I do think some sort of torture motivation is due to the fact that the idea of simulation means to simulate something. But any intelligence great enough to program something as complicated as us would already be able to know all possible outcomes. So there would be no reason to “simulate” anything, the outcomes are already known

So torture then? Meh
