My shot at explaining Embedded Agency (Demski & Garrabrant 2018)

There are two types of agent: PRUDE and SLUT.

This is Alexia. She is a prude. She won't touch the environment except through well defined input and output channels. She has a life that's easy: she can hold the entire bar in her head.
