Eventually the probability of the simulation hypothesis ( http://www.simulation-argument.com/faq.html ) takes over. The simulation hypothesis (that you exist in a simulation) essentially is already 100% if you believe in MWI. The question is what proportion of your explanations are simulations. Say it is 1%. Then when the probability of your organic survival drops ever lower in the many worlds, then your survival through the simulation hypothesis becomes increasingly likely.
