      I think the former is probably true, and the later is definitely true. It's not the reader's responsibility to completely rework a thought experiment so that it is intelligible. The distinction between "this is how the situation is" and actually being in the situation.

      I think that's a super useful distinction to make in real life and most of the point of the thought experiment is to not make that distinction, so as to focus on the dilemma at hand.

      I don't understand. To me you are saying "we should be able to make a decision regarding this unintelligible description of the world making a type error between terms of type Nat and quantities...

      ... and where it would require probably more bits of information than the human mind can handle to communicate the version of the thought experiment which doesn't make that type error by communicating the quantity instead of the term of type Nat"

      And it would probably take more bits of information than the human mind can handle to actually be in the situation where you can be justified in believing Omega's claim about the possibility of dust specking 3^^^3 people

      Are you claiming 1) no one can feel the full force of 3^^^3 of anything, therefore the thought experiment is broken, or 2) no one can have a justified belief involving 3^^^3 of anything, therefore it is broken?

      2 but more specific to your action reaching those people. As in it is always the case that you should believe that choosing dust specks does something which doesn't make sense to be described as "dust speck 3^^^3" people. Either Omega is confused or lying or something else.

      Omega has an arbitrary amount of computer power and has dedicated 3^^^3 people-sims to the experiment. What is necessarily unbelievable about this? (please include standard caveats, like yes this doesn't fit in our universe etc)

      You need to be able to know that Omega has arbitrary amounts of computing power. At some point, you won't be able to tell between the capacity of two super powerful computers.

      Omega reverses sha-256, and the reversals are all limerick-meter summaries of the original. Omega replays your life history (found it in a sim). Omega shows you the computational machinery and the program which is running. Omega runs a program of your choosing.

      This is a sim. Omega has 1000s of years to convince you.

          The first two require far less computational power than simming 3^^^3 people. You need to also comprehend the hardware which will be unimaginably huge. You need to already know the output of the program.
