What my comment about small differences amounts to is if you can’t bet the whole bankroll; for example if your utility is (altruistically) logarithmic in the resources of all humanity, but you can only control how to gamble with a small fraction of that.
This might justify EAs behaving like their utility is linear in resources, even if it’s ultimately logarithmic.
Agreed.
