I don't know what you mean by 'large world issues'.
Why is the agent's distance from you relevant to predicting its inputs? Why does a large distance imply huge complexity?

Next Wednesday 28th Nov there'll be a meetup at Tazza D'Oro - the cafe in the Gates Hillman center (CMU Computer Science building) - at 6pm. The topic will be our effect on the far future. The future is big, so our effects on it might matter a lot. However it's also hard to know about. What can we do that would reliably make it better? If you have ideas, or would like some, come and talk about it with us! Some folks might go to dinner after. Phone 412-304-6258 if you have any questions.

I don't follow why your rephrasing is SIA-specific.
Here I'm not arguing for SIA in particular, just against the position that you should only update when your observations completely exclude a world (i.e. 'non-indexical' updating, as in Radford Neal's 'full non-indexical conditioning' for instance). If we just talk about the evidence of existence, before you know anything else about yourself (if that's possible) SSA also probably says you shouldn't update, though it does say you should update on other such evidence in the way I'm arguing, so doesn't have the same problems as this non-indexical position.
I'm addressing this instead of the usual question because I want to settle the debate.
Yes. Anything in particular there you think is relevant?

Sorry to confuse you. I did respond to the specific and coherent feedback, I just changed it on OB as well, so you can't tell.
What's the 'error they 'share'?
