gollark: You could argue that this makes the paradox also infohazardous since discussion of it means predictions will be more accurate and you lose some ability to choose.
gollark: Except we don't need prediction now, you could just data mine the response to this off discord in theory.
gollark: Probably.
gollark: If you use sufficiently complex methods to choose boxes, the simulator has to basically simulate the entire universe and thus the simulation is basically "real" (depending on your philosophical outlook).
gollark: You don't pick B, you pick either just A or A+B.
