Can’t resist more quotes. Calculating the morality (rather than the game score) of IPD bots:
Tyler sets up and runs a fairly standard IPD tournament, with a mix of strategies that includes TIT_FOR_TAT, TIT_FOR_TWO_TATS, other TIT_FOR_TAT variations, PAVLOV, FRIEDMAN, EATHERLY, CHAMPION (see the paper for details), and degenerate strategies like always defecting, always cooperating, and playing randomly. However, Tyler then asks an unusual question about the IPD tournament: namely, purely on the basis of the cooperate/defect sequences, which players should we judge to have acted morally toward their partners?
(In this particular case and using the “eigenmoses” niceness scoring, TIT_FOR_TWO_TATS ended up the “most moral”.)
