One option you don’t discuss, and that seems important, is to make our offer of payment CONDITIONAL on the AIs values.
For example: - We pay AIs way more of they are linear in resources, as then they’ll need greater payment to incentivise cooperation - We pay AIs only a small amount if they have DMR in resources, as then they need only a small payment to incentivise cooperation
This way we don’t waste money offering big returns to a satisfycing AI.
(Though note that with AIs that have diminishing marginal returns to resources we don’t need to go close to our reservation price, and we can potentially make deals with these AIs even once they have a substantial chance to perform a takeover.)
in the subsection “A wide range of possible early schemers could benefit from deals”.)

Agreed.
