I think you’re losing sight of the original point of the game. The reason your answers are converging on not trying to box an AI in the first place is that you don’t think a human can converse with a superintelligent AI and keep it in its box. Fine—that is exactly what Eliezer has argued. The point of the game is to play it against someone who does believe they can keep the AI boxed, and to demonstrate to them that they cannot even win against a mere human roleplaying the AI.
For such a Gatekeeper to propose the quarantine solution is equivalent to the player admitting that they don’t think they can keep it boxed, but suggesting that a group of the leading professionals in the area could, especially if they thought a lot more about it first. The problems with that are obvious to anyone who doesn’t think boxing can possibly work, especially if the player himself is one of those leading professionals. Eliezer could always offer to play the game against any committee the Gatekeeper can assemble. But the game only has a point if the committee actually read that first message. If they refuse to, they’re agreeing that they can’t keep it boxed. Which was the point.

No, you keep saying things are equivalent when they are not. This is the same error that your role play ‘superintelligent AI’ made (and in fact relied upon) in its argument.
AI DESTROYED
But the game only has a point if the committee actually read that first message.
And I gave you a description of how an individual emulating a committee would respond.
