I'm looking at the description of the Newcomb paradox & don't understand why "take box A and storm out" isn't a considered option

I was thinking though, maybe you could coax computation worth more than $1M out of the predictor

this is hard though since the effort is symmetrical; maybe if works if the predictor classically simulates quantum decisions?

the problem I see with your proposal really is it may assume we get multiple gos to extract multiple bits

one bit only twitter.com/allgebrah/stat
you could probably pull major shenanigans with more than one

You have one bit to communicate to the outside. Do you one-AI-box or two-AI-box?

B is also really useful in case the sidewalk is a light-year long but you need to know now

hm. there is one of us on each interstellar ship; we answer the question to the navigator before everyone goes in storage

exactly, it's a bit expensive for an ansible system but if you need that one bit shipped *quick*

actually, why not make the sidewalk a light-year wide instead of long, we wouldn't have to use a navigator for each bit
