Quantum freaks me out.
How can we possibly make a point we are not in a simulation.

No reason to believe we are in a simulation and nothing about quantum suggests we are.

Reality is probabilistic and none knows why, almost like someone programmed a video game.
Noone knows why quantum outcome changes based on mere observation. You get what I’m saying - just by me looking at the experiment result changes. I have to observe the reality in order to force it’s hand and render the outcome. If I were to design a video game I would surely not render the entire world unless someone interacts with it - to conserve resources.
And now there is this: modern work suggests that the extra spatial dimension itself may emerge from quantum entanglement. Roughly: 2D quantum information → entanglement structure → emergent 3D geometry/spacetime.
I don’t know about you, but this sure as hell seems like a graphics engine.
And another thing : At the deepest level, the universe may consist of quantum information and relationships. Space and time emerge from how that information is organized and changes.
So… Do I understand it right? “It from bit” as they call it - is this basically like a video game source code? We are “information” floating in space?
And why is spacetime quantized? - This is pretty crazy imo. Nature just allows only specific values? Wow. if this is a video game or simulation I would surely allow only specific values.
Definitely smells like a simulation.

How is that anything like a video game? What even is your reasoning here?

According to some interpretations, but none of the main ones. And it would in no way imply simulation even if it was true.
If I were to design a video game I would surely not render the entire world unless someone interacts with it - to conserve resources.
Having every possibility simulated until observed would be infinitely more resources intensive than just having a classical single state the whole time. Which is why actual video game designers don’t do this.

No it doesn’t. I’m guessing that this is some vague misunderstood conception of the holographic principle but this is not how it works

It’s not. Spacetime is not quantized in QM
