Maybe. But you would probably exterminate whole digital worlds to save but one life of flesh and blood in the context of your reality.
My opinion is this: if you are a powerful galactic civilisation and get strong enough computer hardware to do whatever you want with whatever level of granularity you want (for example if you manage to achieve high levels of nanotechnology that you could release a nanobot swarm to devour entire asteroids and turn them into computing clusters), you would easily have the resources to run a simulation of your civilisation for sure.
The reason is that you would have excellent present-state information about it your civ and universe in whatever aspects you deem relevant at that point and could simulate them materially, even down to individually simulating our brains at the neuronal level to create conscious "ai", just like your own species, in a universe just like your own, but one you can watch play out millions of times faster because it is running on a computer.
You could watch the technological and scientific progress the beings within your simulation make in situations similar to your own, with experimental outcomes similar to your own, and test their advancements against your own universe's physics to make genuine scientific progress, and even feed this data back into your simulation to present the discrepancies to the simulated civ in their experiments, and make the simulation itself more accurate and progressively more advanced.
The simulated agents would create technology, even products relevant to them in situations extremely similar to the operators' world and help to model their marketing strategies and figure out novel technological pathways... After all they can get 1000000 years of brainstorming by an entire simulated civilisation of simulated agents.
To simulate every single brain on Earth, it would "only" (for an advanced civ) take about the mass of a planet turned into microchips at a modern fabrication scale (let alone the fabrication technologies available to an advanced civilisation.
Our purpose in such an existence, would be to persist, survive, innovate, solve problems to improve society and generally live our best lives because our self progress is directly aligned with the goals of the operators.

2021-04-19 at 8:34 PM UTC in Hey theists, convince me into believing in God.The simulation hypothesis holds that in a universe where ancestor simulations can happen as a result of intentional actions, the overwhelming likelihood is that they will happen at least once somewhere, and that in a universe where it happens at least once, the amount of simulated conscious observers in a particular reference class will vastly outnumber the number of unsimulated observers to the point where the relative chance of any given observer being unsimulated will be virtually zero.
According to the most modern state of neuroscience, human consciousness seems to be the result of physical processes involving our brain and thus seems to be simulatable within our own universe.
Thus the chances that any particular observer in our reference class (including you and I) are simulated are overwhelming. Thus the chances are that we exist within one of a massive number of ancestor simulations.
These simulations, being the results of intentional actions, would be controlled by some entity that is capable of conscious comprehension. This entity would have total control and perfect information of every aspect of our reality.
They could move stars around your sky at will to form pictures. They could return the save file of your dead loved ones and remove their cancerous organ with the save file of a healthy organ. They could give you superpowers or perform miracles. They could make reality retrospectively change to reflect and "rationalize" all their actions, including our memories, so it always seems to be consistent with natural phenomena.
Such a person would be fit to be called god and as demonstrated above, is likely to be existent relative to our reality. -

As to the rest of that I have no idea what fucking planet you live on because I don’t give a flying shit on a stick what you want. I also have perfect teeth, cute glasses, and my tits are of absolutely no value to you because you don’t get to do jack with them anyways you oversized, middle aged blabbering psychopath.
No one cares. -
