Yep! With the addendum that I’m also limiting the utility function by the same sorts of bounds. Eliezer in Pascal’s Muggle (as I interpret him, though I’m putting words in his mouth) was willing to bound agents subjective probabilities, but was not willing to bound agents utility functions.
Why is seconds the relevant unit of measure here?
The real unit is “how many bits of evidence you have seen/computed in your life”. The number of seconds you’ve lived is just something proportional to that—the Big Omega notation fudges away proportionality constant.
Not sure I fully understand this comment, but I think it is similar to option 4 or 6?
