I’m one of the human beings that Eliezer has so much trouble imagining: While I’m not (entirely) selfish myself, I have no trouble acting as if I were completely selfish for the purpose of playing in the vanilla prisoner’s dilemma. Consequently, it’s of no relevance to me that the other agent is an unfriendly superintelligence, rather than a friendly human being. I defect in both cases.
