Hi
You said friendliness was AGIs locked in empathy towards mankind.
How can you make them feel this?
How did we humans get empathy?
Is it not very likely that we have empathy because
it turned out to be an advantage during our evolution
ensuring the survival of groups of humans.
So if an AGI is supposed to feel true empathy for a
human..must it not to evolve in a environment there
feeling empathy for a human is an advantage?
And how can one possibly do this?
Unless you do a virtual environment, simulating
generations after generations of AGIs coexisting
with simulated humans, simultaneously making it
an advantage for the AGIs to display empathy
towards said simulated humans..
Now what happens then you then allow theese AGIs
to interact with the real world? Then they realize
they have evolved in a virtual world designed to make
them behave in a certain way?
This brings in an assumption: that motivations are mechanisms that
"evolve" during the lifetime of the individual, so that the individual
could have any motivation that happens to grow inside them.
This is not accurate: motivation is something you have to design from
the get go.
Too much other stuff to do tonight to explain the details.
More later
