Hey Clippy. What decision theory do you use to determine how your actions produce paperclips?
I can’t really explain it, I just think about it and then something seems to be the “right” thing to do—or vice versa. It does involve a lot of calculations involving the mechanics of paperclips. And I know that I would one-box on the “Newcomb’s problem” that is talked about here, and I would pay on the “Parfit’s Hitchhiker” problem, unless of course my rescue deprived the universe of paperclips on net.
