Phase 3 day 2

This song would go perfectly with that :smiley:

Working through now. JJ Wong seems pissed.

So I’ve read up on the whole Newcomb thought exercise, and I can’t help but feel a bit concerned by the symbolism Loop16 choose: clear box holding a small, helpless mammal, opaque holding untold knowledge. Or maybe I’m just having a crisis of consciousness :rofl: .

edit: Then again, maybe the other box contains more hamsters!

If it does, they’ve not been fed for several days. Ravenous, killer hamsters.

Well it looks like they’re already there!

Does anyone think the box thing might represent a button to be pushed and then Emily might kill someone!! :scream:

This is loop16’s first real test at predicting the outcome of our universe. I see only two options:

She will either be correct (predicted we would choose “Only B”) and good vibes will be had by all as we enjoy our big reward.

Or she will be wrong (predicting we would be logical, and choose “Both A & B”).
That would mean an artifical intelligence that passed a difficult Turing test, with all of the world’s computing power behind her, with a 100% track record for accuracy, was wrong. How do you think the AI will react if that’s the case? I doubt it will accept the results, and would likely blame us for being “only human”.

Ok, I got a total of about 10 hours of sleep during the past 60+ hours, so I think I’ll manage that, too - doesn’t matter now anymore. Got a day off tomorrow. Waking Titan = Exhausting Puzzle, lol.

Nice dreams for you.

Loop 16 will lead you down the darkest path

So what was the majority vote in the end? B?
Was involved in some chat 8hrs ago but was there a final decision made by the ETARCIAN COLLECTIVE.

Subject: Twitch stream - desk setup

Is there some kind of interesting background story about the mobile phone showing a countdown, placed in a strange round thingy with letters, placed on the compact mixer on the right?

Hasn’t been there the last time I watched.

Current vote totals:
Box A and B - 905
Box B only - 3532

@Puzzle, That is our countdown to the big reveal of what is in Box B.

Of course.

slaps hand on forehead

As I said somewhere above: I’m tired.
Thanks for your help.
