The argument in favor of the Everettian multiverse (“where else could the computation have happened, if it wasn’t being farmed out to parallel universes?”) seems illogical to me. Aren't these parallel universes running the same computation at the same time, and thus also "farming out" part of their computations to us? If so, it's a zero-sum game, so how could there be an overall performance gain for all the universes?
