It is fun to think about the Simulation Theory but most discussions revolve around it being likely that we are in one.
What are some concrete reasons why it’s all science fiction and not reality?

Pi has a pattern, just not a repeating one. There are algorithms to calculate it to arbitrary precision.
A pattern is, by definition, repeating. Pi does not repeat. At least not that we’ve yet calculated, and we’ve gotten to thirteen trillion digits which is frankly incomprehensible.
Ok, I will give you that most simple definitions of “pattern” include that it must repeat. Not all of them do but there are enough that you wouldn’t be wrong for claiming it. You still don’t really know what you’re talking about, though. Pi is irrational. It CAN’T ever repeat*. We don’t just have to calculate more and more digits to see if it looks like it does or not. We have math, and we can prove these things.
* arbitrarily large sections can repeat, but that’s by chance and can’t last forever
