What is your opinion of the simulation hypothesis?
Do you mean the one based on probability? I found it initially quite compelling but on closer inspection it makes too many assumptions for my liking and seems a bit circular.
I am however totally undecided on whether or not we're living in a simulation. Ironically, I am very likely to be living in one, if we assume something exists outside of my consciousness. I'm living in my own virtual reality created by my brain.
One of the conclusions I've come to in my philosophical thinking is that defining what "real" means in a non-circular way is problematic at best and impossible at worst.
