If Alice and Bob are talking to each other as they deliberate
I think this is a typo, it should say “compete” instead of “deliberate”.
I worry about persuasion becoming so powerful that it blocks deliberation: How can Alice know whether Bob (or his delegated AI) is deliberating in good faith or trying to manipulate her?
In this scenario, small high-trust communities can still deliberate, but mutual mistrust prevents them from communicating their insights to the rest of the world.
I meant “while they deliberate,” as in the deliberation involves them talking to work out their differences or learn from each other. But of course the concern is that this in itself introduces an opportunity for competition even if they had otherwise decoupled deliberation, and indeed the line between competition and deliberation doesn’t seem crisp for groups.
