Perhaps humans can't pass their qualia on to their offspring, but droids can, especially if they have a hive mind. ~PM

Obviously these entries of mine don't fall under the banner "invention", rather "principles and priorities". Despite mentioning reproduction in my post, it was really all about survival. I have already preached long and hard that solitary AGI, though technically possible, makes little sense to me, and of course reproduction by genetic material takes AGI embeddedness to a whole new level - just imagine Einstein trying to reproduce in the absence of females! Reproduction is the ultimate adaptation, though it happens in a way that is not entirely ego- and algo- satisfying, neither can you take your qualia and "life" with you to your offspring, nor are you guaranteed they will be your allies. There are are several (infinite perhaps) non-reproductive adaptations, such as symbiosis and specifically domestication. We generally think we created sheep, dogs, pigs and cows, but we could easily have been created by them too with their diseases and our ability to work with them giving reproductive and survival advantages of the appropriate magnitude. There is always going to be the thin and risky line between nature and nurture too, never really knowing what the consequences of either is. So, RiskAI prioritizes risk modeling at the nurture side, leaving nature to "take its course" with reproduction and other genetic (perhaps random) adaptations.
