have created this simulation are on an entirely different plane of both existence and intelligence. Neil deGrasse Tyson has talked about this gap in intelligence, relating it to us being only 1% different in DNA from our closest relatives - chimpanzees. All of human advancement and knowledge is contained in that 1% difference from chimps. So how advanced would a civilization be which is 1% different from us the other way? Then, what if they were 50% more advanced?

All of our most complicated technology and civilization wouldn't even be considered intelligent life to them. If they decided to create an infinite simulated universe, just for their entertainment, everything that has ever happened in our human history to them would be nothing more than watching an ant farm. We definitely would have zero understanding of any of the code required to create this level of simulation.
