You’re right, the leverage definitely goes two ways. The thing it, this later leverage will tend to be smaller than the one you get immediately. At least, this is how the system behaves in my naive simulations. The exception is, when you expect some very big contributors to join later on—then the later leverage is bigger. So yeah, it’s a complicated situation and I didn’t want to go into that in the post, because it would get too bloated.
And yeah, humans and TAI may have different strategies which complicates it further. This is why I’m not yet fully satisfied with this mechanism, and I will try to simplify it, so that we don’t have to care for all those strategies.
