It's via Shiraz.here CWT with Sam Bankman Freedthe important passage is:
Cowen: Should the Benthamites be risk neutral when it comes to social welfare?
Bankman Fried: yes, that I feel this very strongly.
Cowen: Okay, but let's say there's a game. With 51% he doubles the Earth elsewhere. 49 percent, all gone. Why not play that game? And keep playing it even if you don't double or anything?
Bankman Fried: There is one caveat. For party pooches, let me warn you first. That is, we assume that these universes do not interact. is that so? Because as long as they exist in the same universe, duplicating them probably doesn't actually double their value. Because they might colonize the other universe anyway.
Cowen: But if we keep all this constant, we actually get two Earths, but we run the risk of them all disappearing 49 percent of the time.
Bankman Fried: Again, I have to say a caveat here: „How do you really know what's going on?“ Blah, blah, blah, whatever. But that aside, let's consider a pure hypothesis.
Cowen: Then continue the game.So what are the chances that something will remain? Aren't I just St. Petersburg Paradox do you not exist?
Bankman Fried: Well, not necessarily. Maybe you're stuck in the St. Petersburg paradox. very A precious existence. That's another option.
Cowen: Are there any influences from Benthamite utilitarianism that you personally feel are incorrect? Are you not willing to accept them? What are the limitations, if any?
There are also other gems including this one.
Cowen: In what ways have you incorporated a legal mindset into your efforts?
Bankman Fried: Its importance is increasing over time…
Recommendation.
