I know people like this. I really don’t understand people like this. Why not just take the challenge to play real live it’s a videogame with crushing difficulty. Oh wait that’s maybe just me who plays games on very hard difficulty most of the time (in the past when I did play video games). I guess there is probably not one reason people do this. But I don’t get the reason why you are being crushed by doom. At least for me using the heuristic of just not giving up, never (at least not consciously, I probably can’t muster a lot of will as I am being disassembled by nanobots, because of all the pain you know), seemed to work really well. I just ended up reasoning myself into a stable state, by enduring long enough. I wonder if the same would have happened for your fried had he endured longer.
I am not quite sure what the correct answer is for playing Minecraft (let’s ignore the Ender Dragon, which did not exist when I played it).
I think there is a correct answer for what to do to prevent AI doom. Namely to take actions that achieve high expected value in your world model. If you care a lot about the universe then this translates to “take actions that achieve high expected value on the goal of preventing doom.”
So this only works if you really care about the universe. Maybe I care an unusual amount about the universe. If there was a button I could press that would kill me, but that would save the universe, then I would press it. At least in the current world, we are in. Sadly it isn’t that easy. If you don’t care about the universe sufficiently compared to your own well-being, the expected value from playing video games would actually be higher, and playing video games would be the right answer.

Because gamification is for things with a known correct answer. Solving genuine unknowns requires a stronger connection with truth.
