The implication is that if you believe in universal personhood then

If humans are any indication, a super-intelligence will be

human race.
Not necessarily. If personhood is universal then your pleasure is
my pleasure, so the conclusion could be:
Do unto others as they want done to them.
But I'm they, and it's hard to be sure about what they want, so it's
best to get me what I want. That way they, sharing my personhood,
will also be rewarded.
Good point. It is the double edged nature of the realization that
there is only one person.
The masochist can also become a sadist ...
Science is not ethical per se, even the science of ethics.
