Prisoner's dilemma isn't a dilemma

>>8840407
Just both remain silent, get small sentences because they can't really make anything stick and don't get murdered for snitching.

>>8840407
That's why they're in prison.

>>8840407
The snitch only stays in jail if both snitch and then they would be known as the guys who snitched on each other. It would become a prison-wide joke. Even the guards would laugh.

>>8840424
Yeah, but if someone robbed you of 20 years of life, you would track them down and kill them... or at least, I would.

>thought experiment

>>8840427
Kek literally fly abroad and then your jailed friend will never be able to even gather the money to leave the country.

>>8840437
It is not a thought experiment, it is a classic example of a game in game theory.

Brainlets, we want you out.

>>8840438
Even if I didn't have the money, I would illegally travel across borders to find you.

>find a single guy in prison who would want to be known as the guy that snitched

>>8840407
How does it make sense that you get 20 years of the other guy snitches on you but only 5 if you both snitch on each other?

>>8840407
So you didn't snitch.
But I did, and I don't go to jail so I don't care.

>there's no such thing as trust
Whatever buddy

>>8840471
Because it creates incentives to snitch.

>>8840472
Good thing everyone in the mafia is in prison
Good thing everyone in prison never gets out
oh wait

>>8840471
>>8840482
To followup more precisely, it's a situation in which the dominant strategy is not the one with the best possible outcome.

Prison is full of snitches

Both snitching will be the most frequent outcome, bar any exterior influences.

If you are silent you either get 20 or 1 years. If you snitch you get 0 or 5.
