Thank you for the great write-up. It’s the kind of thing I believe and act upon but said in a much clearer way than I could, and that to me has enormous value. I especially appreciate the nuance in the downsides of the view, not too strong nor too weak in my view. And I also love the point of “yeah, maybe it doesn’t work for perfect agents with infinite compute in a vacuum, but maybe that’s not what’ll happen, and it works great for regular bounded agents such as myself n=1 and that’s maybe enough?” Anyhow, thank you for writing up what feels like an important piece of wisdom.
