It’s possible you overheard me bring it up where I was making a claim about cross-everett acausal trading between acausal-trade-inclined superintelligences, it’s a thing I’ve chatted about before with people and I think may have done recently, not sure who originated the idea. it’s a seriously disappointing consolation prize but if acausal trade is easier to encode than everything else for some reason (which would already a weird thing to be true), then maybe in some worlds we get strong alignment wins and those worlds can bargain for trade with the acausal-trade-only pseudo-win worlds, maybe even for enough to keep humans around in a tiny sliver of the universe’s negentropy for a while. or something.
idk, I’m not really convinced by this argument I’m making. sometimes I think about acausal trade between noised versions of myself across timelines as a way to give myself a pep talk.
