4 Should you light yourself on fire for no benefit?
I think this section is addressed best by https://intelligence.org/2017/04/07/decisions-are-for-making-bad-outcomes-inconsistent/. Your reasoning about it not providing any benefits to you “at this point” is basically assuming CDT and you could apply the same line of argumentation to Newcomb’s paradox to argue for twoboxing.
I know I’m not a simulated algorithm. The simulated algorithm isn’t conscious (we can stipulate). I am.
This is effectively denying the possibility of the predictors, in general.
