🔮 You can, in fact, bamboozle an unaligned AI into sparing your life

Science

There has been a renewal of discussion on how much hope we should have of an unaligned AGI leaving humanity alive on Earth after a takeover. When this topic is discussed, the idea of using simulation arguments or acausal trade to make the AI spare our lives often come up. These ideas have a long history. The first mention I know of comes from Rolf Nelson in 2007 on an SL4 message board, the idea later makes a brief appearance in Superintelligence under the name of Anthropic Capture, and came up on LessWrong last time as recently as a few days ago.
