If we survive by an anthropic situation (it's hard to see how that could preserve several persons together, but just in case), then you win the bet, since that would more like a second world than a continuation of this one.
If the AI is shut down before it has had a chance to operate, the bet wouldn't have been settled yet, so you wouldn't have to pay anything.
Anyway, I'm still going to win.
Where are the new monthly threads when I need them? A pox on the +11 EDT zone!
