Extracting Money from Causal Decision Theorists
📖 Description
My paper with my Ph.D. advisor Vince Conitzer titled "Extracting Money from Causal Decision Theorists" has been [formally published](https://doi.org/10.1093/pq/pqaa086) (Open Access) in *The Philosophical Quarterly*. Probably many of you have seen either earlier drafts of this paper or similar arguments that others have independently given on this forum (e.g., Stuart Armstrong [posted](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/Kr76XzME7TFkN937z/predictors-exist-cdt-going-bonkers-forever) about an almost identical scenario; Abram Demski's post on [Dutch-Booking CDT](https://www.alignmentforum.org/posts/X7k23zk9aBjjpgLd3/dutch-booking-cdt-revised-argument) also has some similar ideas) and elsewhere (e.g., [Spencer (forthcoming)](https://www.jackspencer.org/uploads/1/4/0/3/14038590/anaa037.pdf) and [Ahmed (unpublished)](https://www.academia.edu/36270656/Sequential_Choice_and_the_Agents_Perspective?email_work_card=title) both make arguments that resemble some points from our paper).
