Moloch, also known as the ‘multipolar trap’, is a force of game theory.
It is the god of war and competition-gone-wrong. The bad guy of humanity’s evolutionary story that we have to figure out how to defeat.
In my chat with Lex Fridman we spoke about how people will still be incentivised to use a certain strategy in order to compete for the same prize regardless of how bad that strategy may be if it offers a short-term advantage.
