The amount of men in the comments/qtretweets speaking OVER WOMEN on this subject is baffling...
Trans women are women.

@sophiekeen @riotgames If they allow transgenders, what's stopping any man from claiming he identifies as a woman?
English

Hi @riotgames, I can't see anything that clearly states that this competition is not affiliated with you so I can only presume it's official.
This confuses me as a consumer because I didn't think Valorant would be transphobic in this way :(

@chainsawdollie Have you imagined what would it be like if they can spy on everyone all the time?
It means every kidnap victim can be found. It means no crimes would go unpunished.
But I guess your privacy is more important.
English

@Dshoopy0 @dannycantalk The predictor calculated a lot of things, and arrived to a conclusion before you play. YOU CAN'T CHANGE THE CONCLUSION. If he put the million, good for you. If he didn't, too bad. You have no influence on that. You only decide if you take the 1k or not.
English

@Flechashe @dannycantalk The predictor knows that when you are presented with the option that you might changed you mind based on the presented choices, therefore you don't need to stress. This is already accounted for you just didn't think of it. But now you know so you can just take the 1 million.
English

@94SweetGoats @FrostdreamGames @DaddyWarpig 2/2 You are dodging the most important part: you can't influence a past prediction with a current decision.
English

@94SweetGoats @FrostdreamGames @DaddyWarpig It doesn't say that his accuracy is above 50%, it is, in fact, an assumption you made. Everything is relative, "extremely accurate" at predicting a decision that you can change at any time with your free will can mean anything. 1/2
English

B.
"Why not both?" Because I know me and I would pick B. Always. And if I know me and that thing knows me, then there will always be $1,000,000 in B.
Because I would never pick both. And that thing would know that.
B. Only B. Only ever B. And I walk away with $1,000,000.

We're done rehashing the button question. Time to rehash Newcomb's Paradox. Are you a one-boxer or a two-boxer?
English

@Nightli58405647 @DaddyWarpig That's not what I said though. OP is convinced that 1 box is the right choice. The prediction is that he will take 1 box. Then I tell him to take 2 boxes instead. He gets the million + the 1k. My advice happened after the prediction, it can't influence it.
English

@Flechashe @DaddyWarpig There's in an inner contradiction in "if you would take one box, you would take both"
You can't change reality itself at the moment of picking, but a perfect (or near perfect) predictor based his decision in the past based on your choice at the present. Your choice influenced it.
English

@FrostdreamGames @DaddyWarpig Wrong. Predicting means making a guess on what your decision will be BEFORE you make it. At the time of making it, the guess is already taken. Therefore whatever you pick doesn't influence the presence of the million. Therefore taking 1 box is simply refusing a free 1k.
English

@DaddyWarpig Taking both is betting Omega is wrong.
Taking B is betting he is correct.
Assuming Omega has an above 50% accuracy rate, taking B is the best bet.
English

@thinkingfejlgk @ChrisPacia I disagree, they are not willing to sacrifice their life. A good chunk of "blue pushers" would push red in the real scenario, unlike in the public Twitter poll with no deadly consequences. And it's not necessarily that they're lying.
English

@ChrisPacia Red button pusher here, but the degree to which fellow red button pusher seem to lack a theory of mind of blue button pushers is astonishing. They push the blue button to safe (irrational) blue button pushers and are willing to sacrifice their life to do so
English

One more attempt at articulating why the red button pushers view the blue button pushers as so irrational.
Let's say your options are this:
Red Button: Nothing happens to you.
Blue Button: Kills you instantly.
If everyone is confronted with that choice, why would anyone push the blue button?
Would we not expect 100% of people to push the red button?
Now if you change the terms and add a proviso that the blue button pushers will be spared if a majority of people push the blue button, wouldn't your reaction be:
"Ok, well. We've already established that nobody's going to push to Blue Button so this shouldn't change anything for anyone".
If your reaction suddenly becomes "Omg we need to organize a campaign to get everyone to push the blue button and you're Hitler if you push red" ... Its like.. um what?
Newington, NH 🇺🇸 English

@ChrisPacia Not a blue pusher, but given the framing of the problem, thinking that everyone is going to push red is delusional. Honestly, with any framing you aren't gonna get billions of people to vote even close to unanimously on anything at all.
English

@SkinnyTuna You're supposed to be gripping the dick with your thumbs only
English

@ValDelamere Ironically though, because you honestly believe 1 box to be the correct choice, you would get the 1 million and I wouldn't. The problem is that choosing 1 box wouldn't change that for me. I simply can't get the million. So what should I choose? 1k or nothing?
English

@ValDelamere The prediction happens before your answer. You can't change it. The predictor can't change it. If you can somehow change your brain before the game, go ahead. Otherwise, picking 1 box does not improve your chances at getting 1 million, that's just a fact.
English

am i missing something or is the answer really easy? since the predictor is guaranted to be correct just take box B since it would've predicted that you did that lol?

Newcomb's Paradox is the Breakfast Question for rationalists
English

@uncatherio You assuming that a blue win must happen or "should happen" is no different than saying "if everyone votes red no one dies". Turns out you don't control all the votes, and a red win is quite likely if lives are actually on the line. In that case, a blue vote is another corpse.
English

@uncatherio Pressing blue has the side effect of killing more people when red wins
English

@Lila_Tomasi @stats_feed You don't die, because you chose the option that says "no one dies." Whatever the others eat is irrelevant
English

@stats_feed Green. If I died as a result of my choice, I would die with integrity!
