> If the many worlds interpretation is right, I should only observe universes in which I’be managed to conjure up your message faster than causality, right?

I feel that's pairing MWI with some non-physical (or at least beyond the wave function) overarching "I" that can see across or jump between branches of the wave function, whereas I'd claim the appeal of embracing MWI is largely that the universe's wave function is all there is and observers/consciousness play no special role (along with not having nonlocal random "collapses"). The experiment would be no different than gathering a bunch of people, assigning each a number, then killing the ones that were assigned the wrong number once the real number arrives.

It isn’t any jumping, just from an individual’s point of view they can’t have been somebody who ended up dying.

		An individual can end up dying - they'd experience themself seeing the wrong number, then committing suicide. There wouldn't be anything after that where an individual can "observe universes" with the ones where the wrong number was predicted taken out of the possibility pool - that individual is just dead.
