Can you clarify what you understand a theory of mind to be?

Looking over parallel discussions, I think Thomblake has said everything I was going to say better than I would have originally phrased it with his two strategies discussion with you, so I'll defer to that explanation since I do not have a better one.

Sure. As I said there, I understood you both to be attributing to this hypothetical "theory of mind"-less optimizer attributes that seemed to require a theory of mind, so I was confused, but evidently the thing I was confused about was what attributes you were attributing to it.
