We could have a vote on some of those to receive the codes.
There could be some sort of noise—e.g., LW and EA forum websites could have some random moments of instability, so you can’t be sure that no one has actually pressed the button.
I came to appreciate the idea of a “ritual” where we just practice the “art of not pressing buttons”. And this year’s edition got my attention because it can be conceived of as an Assurance Game. Even so, right now, there’s no reason for someone to strike—except to show that, even in this low stakes scenarios, this art is harder than we usually think. So there’s no trust or virtue actually being tested / expressed here—which makes the ritual less relevant than it could be.
