I’m finding myself developing a shorthand heuristic to figure out how LDT would be applied in a given situation: assume time travel is a thing.
If time travel is a thing, then you’d obviously want to one-box Newcomb’s paradox because the predictor knows the future.
If time travel is a thing, then you’d obviously want to cooperate in a prisoner’s dilemma game given that your opponent knows the future.
If time travel is a thing, then any strategies that involve negotiating with a superintelligence that are not robust to a future version of the superintelligence having access to time travel will not work.
