I think Einstein is a good example of both bending with the wind (when he came up with relativity), and of not bending with the wind (when he refused to accept quantum mechanics).In other words, you are advocating a combative, Western approach; I am bringing up a more Eastern approach, which is not to be so attached to anything in the first place, but to bend if the wind blows hard enough.The trouble is that you cannot break new ground this way. You can’t do einstein like feats. You should follow the direction of the wind, but engage nitrous to follow that direction. Occasionally stopping and sticking a finger out the window to make sure you are going the right direction.
By “bending with the wind” I don’t mean “bending with public opinion”. I mean not being emotionally attached to your views.
In a PD, agents hurt each other, not themselves.In a PD, everyone having accurate information about the payoff matrix leads to a worse outcome for everyone, than some false payoff matrices you could misinform them with. That is the point.
I want to know if my being killed by Eliezer’s AI hinges on how often observables of interest tend to be conditionally dependent.
