Newcomb’s problem and Specks vs. Torture...yes...the theory behind them, used to program AI...not so much. Eliezer is generous enough to write in English for those who don’t speak C++/pseudocode/math.
This post was pretty useless, to me, by the way. I’ve heard these very same opinions before, on this very website (put much more politely, eloquently, and, in some cases, even better argued for), so this post doesn’t affect my beliefs. Downvoting.
Edit: By the way, I’m here mostly because I enjoy spending time here. I didn’t start reading this website to learn about existential risk OR cryonics OR Newcomb’s problem.
