you might not be understanding the situation correctly
Sigh. It would simplify things if you were to assume I’m not stupid. I did explicitly mention “games/simulations/scenario playthroughs”...
I’m not getting hung up on the word “game”. I’m getting hung up on it being not empirical reality.
standard practice within the national security apparatus to transfer knowledge
I don’t think EY holds a security clearance which makes any simulations he’s allowed to participate in… very incomplete. This still looks like a mostly PR exercise to me.
These sorts of simulations teach both how decision making occurs under time and resource pressures, and the various common failure modes.
I agree. Therefore you design the simulation to teach what you want the participants to learn. As I mentioned, accuracy is merely an instrumental goal. And if the participants are not actually people who would be expected to make such decisions, your goals might well be different from just transferring knowledge.

I don’t know specifically that he has a clearance but there might be good reasons for him to have a clearance. The purposes of MIRI call for him being able to talk with people about classified AI projects.
Palantir has classified AI and Thiel is likely capable of making the necessary introductions.
