I doubt hedonism would work once you have more than 1 AI - there would be competing goals in the overall system. What represents pleasure to one agent might make another less happy, so the two would &#x27;fight&#x27; and (presumably) both end up in a less positive position. Instead, I would aim for something more like ...

It&#x27;s worth noting that in Bostrom&#x27;s <i>Superintelligence</i>, biology is included among potential paths to superintelligence. Personally, I think it&#x27;s a bit of an overlooked path.<p>Granted, most of what Bostrom refers to in context of the biological path is mostly related to human augmentation, genetics...

Are there any examples of substantive AI work to come out of MIRI? And have they succeeded at all at engaging the actual AI research community?<p>The last time I looked at them, they were consumed with grandiose philosophical projects like &quot;axiomatize ethics&quot; and provably non-computable approaches like AIXI, ...

Why not open it? Archaeologists examine grave goods and open tombs all the time. Is there something special about this one? Is its curse somehow more powerful than all the others?<p>I really wonder about the ethics of opening up graves. What is the rule that separates a cemetery from an archaeological site?

What are the ethics of this? Though credit score anyway is penalising you, but it is at least based on financial history. There might be a slippery slope here.I can&#x27;t imagine what would happen if google were to use something like search history for say insurance, mortgage etc.
