>using the literal prisoners dilemma
they're using game theoretic payouts, but it's not the literal "prisoner's dilemma" which has it in each prisoner's interest to rat no matter what the other prisoner does, and yet it's still net advantageous for neither to rat.
- philwelch 2y agoI think there are some situations where you can achieve that payout in real life, but admittedly by “literal prisoners dilemma” I was referring more to the fact that the mafiosi are literally held prisoner and induced to snitch on each other. And that introducing an extra negative payout for snitching is both the literal and the game-theoretic solution to the dilemma.
