I like Anthropic SB better.

SB has the following rules explained to her on Sunday.

You will be drugged to sleep now.
Then we will flip a coin.
On a heads, you will be shot in the head until dead.
On a tails, you will be woken up tomorrow and asked "What is the probability that the coin landed tails?"

Who still thinks that SB should assign 1/2 to the probability that the coin landed heads?
