Lol. Thank you. To make it look like fanart I should have probably specified something about it, because these currently look more like photos of LARPing.

Many thanks and I appreciate the effort. If it's not overtaxing your generosity can we then also attempt the following tweaks?

"Highly detailed and beautiful digital art of a fantasy character: A 13-year-old girl with red-blonde hair, in a forest. The girl is wearing a deer-mask with short antlers, a cape over a jersey, and a witch's hat. The girl is holding a hockey stick. Every branch of every tree has a bright ribbon tied to it. The cape rests atop her shoulders and falls over one arm like a musketeer's cape."

Many thanks in advance!

I gather we're allowed to suggest prompts we wish to see? Here's a prompt trying to create fanart for my favourite web serial, Pale by Wildbow:

"A girl with red-blonde hair, in a forest. The girl is wearing a deer-mask with short antlers, a cape over a jersey and shorts, and a witch's hat. The girl is holding a hockey stick. Every branch of every tree has a bright ribbon tied to it. The cape rests atop her shoulders and falls over one arm like a musketeer's cape. The witch's hat and the cape are both navy-blue."

There are no reader comments -- this is a "glowfic", the whole thread is the story. Each "comment" is a portion of the story. You need read it all. 

You do need pay attention to the usernames because they often identify which character is speaking (e.g. "Keltham", or "Carissa Sevar"), and an approximation of their facial expression via the graphics.

(The post times and history of each comment are not important in-story, the "history" are just edits made to that story portion, the post times are just when it was posted)

One of the authors is "Iarwain" (who is EY) the other author is "lintamande".

In your other post, the only reason you indicated to not press the button is that other people would still be asleep and not have experienced the thing.

As such, it feels as if the "trick" by your friend just sped up what would have almost certainly happened anyway: you eventually pressing the button and nuking the site. It'd just have happened later in the day.

You're using words like "reputation", and understand how having a reputation for one-boxing is preferable, when we're discussing the level where Omega has access to the source code of your brain and can just tell whether you'll one-box or not, as a matter of calculation.

So the source-code of your brain just needs to decide whether it'll be a source-code that will be one-boxing or not. This isn't really about "precommittment" for that one specific scenario. Omega doesn't need to know whether you have precomitted or not, Omega isn't putting money in the boxes based on whether you have precommitted or not. It's putting money based on the decision you'll arrive to, even if you yourself don't know the decision yet.

You can't make the decision in advance, because you may not know the exact parameters of the decision you'll be asked to make (one-boxing & two-boxing are just examples of one particular type of decision). You can decide however whether you're the sort of person who accepts their decisions can be deterministically predicted in advance with sufficient certainty, or whether you'll be claiming that other people predicting your choice must be a violation of causality (it's not).

It is not compatible to believe your actions follow deterministically, and still talk about decision theory from a first-person point of view,

So it's the pronouns that matter? If I keep using "Aris Katsaris" rather than "I" that makes a difference to whether the person I'm talking about makes decisions that can be deterministally predicted?

Whether someone can predict your decisions has ZERO relevancy on whether you are the one making the decisions or not. This sort of confusion where people think that "free will" means "being unpredictable" is nonsensical - it's the very opposite. For the decisions to be yours, they must be theoretically predictable, arising from the contents of your brains. Adding in randomness and unpredictability, like e.g. using dice or coinflips reduces the ownership of the decisions and hence the free will.

This is old and tired territory.

Makes sense, I'm betting many members of the wider rationalist community have seen their assets increase because of the significant rise of Bitcoin, Ethereum and other cryptocurrencies this year.
