Did you not talk to Eliezer (or Stuart or Paul or...) about Corrigibility before the conversation you cited? It seems like they should have been able to change your mind quite easily on the topic, from what you wrote.
Have you done any work on thermodynamic coupling inducing phase transitions? If not, I’d recommend looking using a path integral formulation to frame the issue. David Tong’s notes are a good introduction to the topic. Feynman’s book on path integrals serves as a great refresher on the topic, with a couple of good chapters on probability theory and thermodynamic coupling. I lost my other reference texts, so I can’t recommend anything else off the top of my head.
