“Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its
victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber
barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty
may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those
who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so
with the approval of their own conscience.”
― C. S. Lewis

"c'est pire qu'un crime; c'est une faute" (it's worse than a crime; it's a
mistake).
― Charles Maurice de Talleyrand-Périgord

The Sam Altmans of the world are bound and determined to exercise tyranny
for the good of their victims -- which amplifies any mistakes in choosing a
world model selection criterion (ie: loss function).

Now, I'm not saying it is preferable that they exercise tyranny (as
opposed to, say, taking down civilization and starting over again); I'm
just being realistic.
