Sometimes, when I go back and read my own comments, I wonder just what goes on in that part of my brain that translates concepts into typed out words when I am not paying it conscious attention.
Anyways, let “our actual true utility function” refer to the utility function that best describes our collective values that we only manage to effectively achieve in certain environments that match the assumptions inherent in our heuristics. Thinking of it this way, one might wonder if Pascalian muggers fit into these environments, and if not, how much does our instinctual reaction to them indicate about our values?
