Attractor Theory of Friendliness
There exists a describable, reachable, stable attractor in state space
that
is sufficiently Friendly to reduce the risks of AGI to acceptable levels
Proof: something will happen resulting in zero or more intelligent agents.
Those agents will be Friendly to each other and themselves, because the
action
of killing agents without replacement is an irreversible dynamic, and
therefore cannot be part of an attractor.
Huh? Why can't an irreversible dynamic be part of an attractor? (Not that
I need it to be)
Corollary: Killing with replacement is Friendly.
Bad Logic. Not X (replacement) leads to not Y (Friendly) does NOT have the
corollary X (replacement) leads to Y (Friendliness). And I do NOT agree
that Killing with replacement is Friendly.
Corollary: Friendliness does not guarantee survival of DNA based life.
Both not a corollary and entirely irrelevant to my points (and, in fact, in
direct agreement with my statement "I'm afraid that my vision of
Friendliness certainly does permit the intentional destruction of the human
race if that
is the *only* way to preserve a hundred more intelligent, more advanced,
more populous races. On the other hand, given the circumstance space that
we are likely to occupy with a huge certainty, the intentional destruction
of the human race is most certainly ruled out. Or, in other words, there
are no infinite guarantees but we can reduce the dangers to infinitessimally
small levels.)" My thesis statement explicitly says "acceptable levels",
not "guarantee".

What is your point with this e-mail? It appears to a total non-sequitor (as
well as being incorrect).
