*They would be "biologically extinct" and until recently the word
"biologically" was redundant, but things change. *

*There would be no crisis, to solve the problem just slow down the
computation that each inhabitant of the simulated world uses, unless they
had contact with the outside physical world the inhabitants of the
simulation would never notice the difference. But because the bandwidth
between each simulated inhabitant would be so large and the speed of
communication so fast it would probably be more accurate to say there was
only one inhabitant in the simulated world and he was not reproducing, he
was growing. *
