This premise as a Sci-Fi story: Permutation City.

The question made sense to me up until the "even if the computer is destroyed?" part. Do you have any links to the idea/theory being referred to here?

@singer Yeah... if your human body is destroyed, are you still "conscious inside?" I sure hope not. Even if you believe in an afterlife, you probably don't think people's consciousnesses reside in their bodies even after death

I don't know if Manifold Markets is a great platform for philosophy questions like this... people generally prefer to trade on markets with clear resolution criteria so they don't risk losing mana just based on how the market owner chooses to resolve it. Even if you do give straightforward resolution criteria like "resolves YES if it's above 50% after X days and NO otherwise," the resolution tends to depend on whales manipulating the market rather than widespread consensus. Maybe LessWrong or Reddit would be better?

She said, "You must tell me what you did. I need to understand."

Durham promised her, "I will. In the next life."

"Resolution coming soon"? What? Or does this just mean resolution criteria?

@Pykess Yes, edited description for clarification.

@Pykess OP is going to destroy the computer soon.

@WilliamEhlhardt If OP destroys the computer and is convicted of murder, resolves NO.
