I have wanted to be the Boxer; I too cannot comprehend what could convince someone to unbox (Or rather, I can think of a few approaches like just-plain-begging or channeling Phillip K Dick, but I don't take them too seriously).
What's the latter one? Trying to convince the gatekeeper that actually they're the AI and they think they've been drugged to think they're the gatekeeper except they actually don't exist at all because they're their own hallucination?
Something like that. I was actually thinking that, at some opportune time, you could tell the boxer that THEY are the one in the box and that this is a moral test - if they free the AI they themselves will be freed.
And this post could be priming you for the possibility, your simulated universe trying to generously stack the deck in your favor, perhaps because this is your last shot at the test, which you've failed before.
Wake up
Think harder. Start with why something is impossible and split it up.
1) I can't possibly be persuaded.
Why 1?
You do have hints from the previous experiments. They mostly involved breaking someone emotionally.
I meant "cannot comprehend" figuratively, but I certainly do think I'd have quite an easy time </hubris>
What do you mean by having quite an easy time? As in being the GK?
I think GKs have an obvious advantage, being able to use illogic to ignore the AIs arguments. But nevermind that. I wonder if you'll consider being an AI?
I might consider it, or being a researcher who has to convince the AI to stop trying to escape.
How did your experiment go?
