I wonder what percentage of self-proclaimed one-boxers are actually one-boxers at heart, as opposed to merely trying to trick future superintelligent Newcomb organizers.

Amazingly, this is the first time I have encountered Newcomb’s Paradox. Is there a succinct way of explaining why it is an interesting problem? I understand it’s formulation, but fail, as yet, to see the significance beyond illustrating importance of hidden assumptions.

Your question is impossible to do justice within a single tweet, but the NP touches on thorny issues in, e.g., rationality, the fundamentals of decision theory, causality, artificial intelligence and whether we might possibly be living in a computer simulation.

Fair enough, I was afraid so. Is there somewhere (preferably easily accessible, e.g. online) where I can get an overview explanation? I read the Wikipedia entry, but that didn’t really explain *why* NP is interesting for any of those things, how NP might tell us something useful.
