I didn’t downmod anyone, but I’m not sure that talking about weird game theoretical precommitments with a paperclip maximizer is a good idea. I suppose it’s fine as long as we only talk about positive sum trades.
Can you unpack your thinking, there? I certainly wouldn’t want to behave with respect to Clippy in ways that would be bad ideas to behave with respect to a paperclip maximizer, but I’m not quite clear on what you’re discouraging and why.
In my experience it depends quite a bit on the specific males in question, but statistically speaking this generalization holds.
Someone just came through and voted all the comments in this subthread down (_/

I’m discouraging people from thinking of arbitrarily weird scenarios where one of the possible payoff matrices is bad for humanity.
I oppose this influence. I welcome considerations of any and every weird scenario with arbitrary payoff matrices for anyone at any time.
