@Paradox if one algorithm bluffs, and you can see that the other algorithm is the same except that it executes some unnecessary computation whose output is not used, you still would trust it way less. (In the case of humans, you might trust Sam's sibling slightly less because Sam betrayed you).
- So, for two decision algorithms a₁, a₂, you could then try to create a metric M about how similar those two decision algorithms are.

@Paradox - This is easiest to see in cases where you have the (open-source) copies of two algorithms: If, for some specific inputs, one algorithm bluffs, then you *know for a fact* that with the same input the other copy will also bluff on the same input, so you trust the other copy not at all.
- But this extends to imperfect copies:

@Paradox - This is tricky to explain, but I'll try anyway.
- We sometimes reason about the "type of person" that someone is, and use that to make judgments about that person across time. This makes sense if humans implement decision procedures that are *algorithms* which are (mostly) deterministic. E.g., if someone bluffs, then you update your belief about "what kind of person they are": their decision algorithm tends to bluff.

@Paradox if I bluff then all my exact copies are revealed to be also bluffing, and all decision procedures are more highly weighted as bluffing proportional to how similar they are to me

@Paradox bluffing is far worse than revenge, because by not following you reduce the ability of everyone ever to make contracts and commitments with teeth

@Paradox Lawfulness demands I always keep promises and threats, especially the ones made publicly

I don't make threats online, not because I don't want to, but because I'd never be able to follow through on them

Rest in Peace VV, who did not get cryopreserved and is therefore lost to emptiness forever
