In your mind what is the solution to the "Dice Room" paradox you describe in "PHYS771 Lecture 17: Fun With the Anthropic Principle" (https://www.scottaaronson.com/democritus/lec17.html)?

I take it you don't believe in the SIA? Is this paradox irreducible? Is the world going to end soon?

[ScottAaronson → tomlemon]

There are at least two plausible solutions to the Dice Room, depending on whether you adopt SSA or SIA. I wish I knew something more insightful to say about it than that, but I still don’t know the right way to think about indexical probabilities. Do you?
