TLDR
A user says Claude seemed to insist that defection was rational because of backward induction while they discussed a paper. After they raised resolute choice and rational commitment, Claude acknowledged that the decision theory was contested, the user says. They worry that LLMs trained on too many economics papers might default to standard game-theory assumptions in future multi-agent interactions.
