In April 2010 Gary Drescher proposed the “Agent simulates predictor” problem, or ASP, that shows how agents with lots of computational power sometimes fare worse than agents with limited resources.
Just to give due credit: Wei Dai and others had already discussed Prisoner’s Dilemma scenarios that exhibit a similar problem, which I then distilled into the ASP problem.
