You’re asking if my utility function is bounded, right? I don’t know. All the intuitions seem unreliable. My original confident answer to you (“second strategy of course”) was from the perspective of an agent for whom your thought experiment is possible, which means it necessarily disagrees with Bob. Didn’t want to make any stronger claim than that.
The original post doesn’t require arbitrarily fine distinctions, just 2^trillion distinctions. That’s perfectly finite.
Your comment about Bob not assigning a high utility value to anything is equivalent to a comment stating that Bob’s utility function is bounded.
Right, but Bob was based on your claims in this comment about what’s “reasonable” for you. I didn’t claim to agree with Bob.
Fair enough. I have a question then. Do you personally agree with Bob?

I am, and thanks for answering. Keep in mind that there are ways to make your intuition more reliable, if that’s a thing you want.
