    The machine has already done it’s prediction and the contents of box B has already been set. Which box/boxes do you take?

    If my choices don’t matter and the boxes are predetermined, what point is there to only taking one box? The machine already made its choice and filled the boxes, so taking both boxes is always the correct answer. Either I get $1,000,000 if the machine thought I would take both, or I get $1,001,000,000 if it didn’t. This is a false dilemma, there is never a reason to take just one box.


  • I have noticed this as well. I’ve made a few excursions back to reddit since it keeps loading old comments I haven’t yet mass-deleted to my profile page, and on the two trips where I didn’t immediately close the browser afterwards, both times I clicked on a thread and immediately saw some inflammatory bait, got a little annoyed, and then remembered “wait, I don’t browse this shithole anymore” and came on back.

    I’m not perfect, not even close, but I’m definitely trying to check how I say things while I’m here because I want it to stay this was for as long as possible.
