These are great principles! A few additional of my own are: - Ask questions. - Find common ground. - Target a small number of desirable outcome (1-2).

I really loved @Prof_Malhotra 's definition - negotiation is fundamentally about human interaction. How do we engage with other people in such a way as to achieve a better understanding and better agreements.

Dems tried this with Reps I’ll let you judge the outcome on that.

If you're in a zero sum negotiation it's not really beneficial and try to find better deals where it's win/win.

Ok I wanted to ask a question and make an objection but I found myself humbled by so many great thoughts under this. I don't see normally one tweet with 1K likes and thoughtful answers on Twitter. @elonmusk would probably be happy to see this.

Let’s negotiate open access to AI models then!

Agree, and don't bend over backwards to make the other party happy.

True for negotiations. Sometimes you need to consider war-like strategies to start a negotiation, though.

To get someone into that mindset a good trick is to ask: If you got {all the benefits}/I got {nothing} would you be happy with that deal? That will shift most people from a "maximize my own benefits" mindset to maximizing the overall benefits and looking for the ideal situation

if you are chosen to negotiate with AGI for humanity we are doomed
