About this listen

In this episode, we dive into Newcomb’s Paradox, a thought experiment that has puzzled philosophers, economists, and decision theorists for decades. At the heart of the dilemma lies a powerful predictor, a tempting reward, and a choice that challenges our ideas about free will, rationality, and causality. Join us as we unravel the paradox, explore its implications for AI and game theory, and ask: when prediction seems perfect, what does it really mean to choose?
