Hi LizR,
Ah, so making sure that the AI have feed-back loops built in so that there are consequences (short and long terms) for "dumb" behavior might be a good idea. One way of doing this is ensuring that they can not be self-immortal and must reproduce to recover a form of immortality of their "genome" - ummm, what would be the correct term here? - There is no better reward than continued survival.... I have read everything by Herbert that I could find. Yes, Destination Void is a must. Heinlein 's The Moon is a Harsh Mistress <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Moon_Is_a_Harsh_Mistress> is good as well as it shows what we would like in an AGI system.
