to me, this analogy indicates that it’s not mind-copying that’s causing the apparent value changes, but rather Bayesian updating.
Is that an area in which a TDT would describe the appropriate response using different words to a UDT, even if they suggest the same action? I’m still trying to clarify the difference between UDT, TDT and my own understanding of DT. I would not describe the-updating-that-causes-the-value-changes as ‘bayesian updating’, rather ‘naive updating’. (But this is a terminology preference.)

My understanding is that TDT would not press the button, just like it wouldn’t give $100 to the counterfactual mugger.
Thanks. So they actually do lead to different decisions? That is good to know… but puts me one step further away from confidence!
