As Richard points out, my definition of manipulation is “I influence your actions in a way that causes you to get lower utility”. (And we can similarly define cooperation except with the target getting higher utility.) Can send you the formal version if you’re interested.
I continue to think that this classifies all communication as manipulation. Every action reduces someone’s expected utility, from Omega’s perspective.
I guess if you communicate with only one person, and you’re only looking at your effects on that person’s utility, then this does not classify all communication as manipulation. So maybe I should say that it classifies almost all communication-to-groups as manipulation.
