Don't know about you, but I anticipate acausal control, to a degree. I have a draft post titled "Taking UDT Seriously" featuring such shining examples as: if a bully attacks you, you should try to do maximum damage while disregarding any harm to yourself, because it's good for you to be predicted as such a person. UDT is seriously scary when applied to daily life, even without superintelligences.
