If anyone accepts a pascals mugging style trade off with full knowledge of the problem, then I will slowly torture to death 3^^^^3 sentient minds.
I realize Pascal’s Muggings involve highly implausible threats, but I think people are focusing on the 3^^^^3 sentient minds, and I have the more doubts about the surveillance problems. I can sort of imagine the feasibility of torturing 3^^^^3 minds (though I think the canonical form requires infinite torture rather than torturing to death) through some combination of bubbling off universes and automation, but I can’t imagine any way of keeping track of whether anyone has accepted a Pascal’s Mugging with full knowledge of the problem.
