@nigger philosophy is being told something is super accurate and still acting as if it's a coinflip?

@snacks that's not what the disagreement is over among educated people (the video started with demonstrating that if the machine is 51% accurate EV is better for one)
it's over whether you can change your mind after the robot has made its decision and take both boxes, after all, once the robot's decision is made, you changing your mind won't make the mystery box empty after the fact. on top of that, a native payoff matrix suggests that taking two boxes dominates taking one.
which is retarded, but the likes of such thought is common among the philosophically illiterate. which is not new ground for Veritasium, their video on confirmation bias clouding even the ability to interpret ratios of numbers for instance.

@snacks for instance, lefties thinking that you can tax people and have them produce the same goods as if they were not taxed, when they'll instead produce less because their incentives have changed.

@nigger @snacks one of the biggest tells of submammalian intellect is when you tell dumbass retard lizard people that people respond to incentives, and they treat it like you're arguing against some core axiomatic form of free will. like no retard, even if we accept free will as a premise (i do, perhaps you don't) that doesn't necessarily imply humans are perfectly stochastic. if they were, that would imply absence of free will.
