It's so seldom I get a chance to contribute meaningfully to the conversation
here, but let me jump in...
I think the relevant image here was of an AI carrying on an optimal
conversation with a human being by testing it's repsonses against a trillion
high fidelity simulations of that human, during the time it took the human
to draw a breath.
You cannot win a negotiation against something that quite rightly views you
as a deterministic process.
I believe Eliezer is alluding to the the difficulty of indentifying with a
mind that is that much closer to a force_of_nature then any mere unaugmented
human ever can or ever will be.
