This is NicerBot: def NicerBot(opponent): with probability epsilon: cooperate otherwise: cooperate with the same probability that the opponent does (by querying the oracle) It’s easy to see that NicerBot(NicerBot) will always cooperate, while NicerBot(DefectBot) will defect with $$1 - \epsilon$$ probability. This seems like the correct analogue of FairBot in reflective oracle land.

 by Stuart Armstrong 1222 days ago | link Yep! I try and not make use of symmetry when I can avoid it, to make the result more general. Note that NicerBot is neLP() with the allowable area being half of the output area (the half delimited by CC, DD and DC). reply
