If you mean the paper saying it can’t be a simulation because the universe has true randomness, which can’t be created in software: we ourselves do in fact have true randomness in software, by capturing it from the environment via hardware sensors for fluctuations in temperature and such.
If you mean the fact that we have true randomness, just read about how secure random number generators work, like urandom. It’s not some industry secret, they’re in every computer and likely every smartphone out there, and have been around for twenty years at least.
If we’re talking about the same thing, then afaik their whole claim is that we aren’t in a simulation, because we have true randomness which can’t be created in software. But it’s not necessary to create true randomness in software to have it in said software.
Although I haven’t read the full paper, and am going off what people wrote about it in comments.

Do you have a source for this claim?
For what claim?

That having true randomness in machines means the study is debunked?

If you haven’t read it. Why should I trust your opinion?
Then don’t trust it, what the fuck is it to me.
I love this answer, it tells me a lot of positive things about you.
It also tells me that like me you are oh so weary.
Btw, it’s obvious from your questions that you haven’t read the paper either, so this whole thread seems like pointless wankery.
