There are also a few specific torture scenarios which are much more closely linked to the historically forbidden topic, and which come up, however obliquely, with remarkable frequency.

Hmm...

  • Roko's Basilisk
  • Boxed AI trying to extort you
  • The 'People Are Jerks" failure mode of CEV

I can't think of any other possible examples off the top of my head. were these the ones you were thinking of?

Also Pascal's mugging (though I suppose how closely related that is to the HFT depends on where you place the emphasis) and a few rarer variations, but you've hit the main ones.
