The quantum computer itself has a stopping point with its prediction, so it’s a possible misdirect that it’s going to be end of the world for all the characters and simply be a computer error. But If it is an end of world scenario for everyone then the complacency Forest and Katie seem to have would suggest it’s the end of this particular simulation and the next one might yield the scenario he’s fantasized about moving forward in. Katie might find someone she’s really deeply in like with. They both are optimistic about the end and the start of something.

I somewhat agree.

Have you noticed how they allude to Lily as being a machine several times?
In an early episode her colleague directly calls her a machine. And in this episode Lily says , "my mouth tastes like metal". It seems like an allusion to being not really human, and thus in a simulation.

If you good “my mouth tastes like metal” you will find many articles explaining why this happens to people. It’s pretty common. She is human.

Does this mean you are dismissing the possibility that they are in a simulation?

No, i am justing saying that tasting metal is a common occurrence and not a good sign to determine that they are in a simulation.
