What I want to know is whether you are one of those who thinks no superintelligence could talk them out in two hours, or just no human. If not with a probability of literally zero (or perhaps one for the ability of a superintelligence to talk its way out), approximately what.

Regardless, let's do this some time this month. As far as betting is concerned, something similar to the original seems reasonable to me.

Well, I'm somewhat sure (80%?) that no human could do it, but...let's find out! Original terms are fine.

To be more specific:

I live in Germany, so timezone is GMT +1. My preferred time would be on a workday sometime after 8 pm (my time). Since I'm a german native speaker, and the AI has the harder job anyway, I offer: 50 dollars for you if you win, 10 dollars for me if I do.
