Great! Pick one and get started, please. If you can't decide which one to do, please do asteroids.
I will do asteroids.

The True Prisoner's Dilemma
I would say... defect! If all the computer cares about is sorting pebbles, then they will cooperate, because both results under cooperate have more paperclips. This gives an oppurtunity to defect and get a result of (d,c) which is our favorite result.

Help Build a Landing Page for Existential Risk?
Just wondering, where will the donated money actually go? An important thing to think about.

I can probably write one of the hundred word descriptions. I also could probably make an image as well.

Cooperating with agents with different ideas of fairness, while resisting exploitation
according to game theory
How about according to reality?
And, by the way, what is the fate of theories which do not match reality? X-)

I see your point. According to game theory you should cooperate( as I stated above). However, I will show what my thinking would be in reality...
If I cooperate, they could to, and if that happened we would at up at a payoff of 12,12. However, if they defect then I will loose points.
If I defect, I would have a chance of getting a payoff of 5,0 or a payoff of 2,2. This is the only way to get more than 12 points, and the only way to be give at least two points every time.
Then, you defect every time. If your oppponent also defects every time, you end up at the pareato boundry with a total payoff of 8,8.

And so, both people cooperate.
Both people who are identical and know they are identical cooperate.
Now do the exercise for two people who are different.

Both people who are identical and know they are identical cooperate.
I see your point, but according to game theory in this scenario you assume that your opponent will make the same move as you will, because if both of you are in the same situation then assuming you both are using "perfect" logic then you will reach the same decision.

I would say that according to rationality and game theory cooperating is the best choice. I will show my logic as if both people were thing the same thing.
If I defect, than they will too, and that will give a result of 2,2
If I cooperate, than they will too, and that will give a result of 3,3
I could defect and hope they use the logic above and get a gain of 5,0 but if they use this logic too, then we end up back at the nash equilibrium of getting a result of 2,2.
If I cooperate then I am giving the opponent an oppurtunity to defect but if both people are using this logic than I should cooperate and will end up at the pareto boundry and end up with a result of 3,3 but it is unrealistic to try to achieve a better score so I should just cooperate
And so, both people cooperate.
Note that always only citing one example easily gives the impression that it's the only example you know of, or of this being an isolated special case, so at least briefly mentioning the existence of others could be better.
It also is less reliable when you cite only one source because what that source says could be false(either intentionally or accidentally).
You can generate a random number in your head by generating several numbers unreliably and taking the sum mod X.
That works for some purposes but it is not truly random so it would be better to use a dice or other more random number if available. Of course, be realistic with getting random numbers. If the situation calls for a quickly thought decision, that works. If you have dice in your pocket go ahead and pull them out.

Great! Pick one and get started, please. If you can't decide which one to do, please do asteroids.
Also, can I write in my asteroid essay the potential helpfullness of asteroids? We belive that one asteroid(just one!) could be worth $1,000,000,000,000. In other words, catching one asteroid could be worth one-trillion dollars. Could I mention that in my hundred word blurb?
