Well, assuming that we were all brains in a vat, what would you do differently? Examining all those other theories of reality, which of those would really make you behave differently?
I try to minimize pain and maximize pleasure. I would try to do that in any system. That I do it as a brain in a vat or as a line of code is irrelevant. I feel pleasure or pain (I may not know the cause, but I know that I do feel it). Go to the pleasure, stay away from the pain.
