To me this looks like circular reasoning: this example supports my conceptual framework because I interpret the example according to the conceptual framework.
Instead, I notice that Stockfish in particular has some salient characteristics that go against the predictions of the conceptual framework:
It is indeed superhuman
It is not the case that once Stockfish ends the game that’s it. I can rewind Stockfish. I can even make one version of Stockfish play against another. I can make Stockfish play a chess variant. Stockfish doesn’t annihilate my physical body when it defeats me
It is extremely well aligned with my values. I mostly use it to analyze games I’ve played against other people my level
If Stockfish wants to win the game and I want an orthogonal goal, like capturing its pawns, this is very feasible
Now, does this even matter for considering whether a superintelligence would trade, wouldn’t trade? Not that much, it’s a weak consideration. But insofar as it’s a consideration, does it really convince someone who doesn’t already but the frame? Not to me.
