But killing someone and then beating them on the chessboard due to the lack of opposition does count as winning under the formal rules of chess, since there's nothing in the rules of chess about killing the opponent. The rule "don't kill, strangle, drug, maim, injure, or otherwise physically hurt" the opponent exists only in your head; it doesn't exist in any chess rulebook and isn't automatically transferred to the AGI.
The problem can easily be specified with constraints, and the constraints can't be changed without changing the problem. You seem to be assuming that the AI will look at the task and decide that winning is the real goal, and the constraints are something that has to be overcome. But there is no reason to think this way unless there is another explicit goal which does specify that winning is the important thing, trumping other considerations. -- Stathis Papaioannou ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?member_id=4007604&user_secret=7d7fb4d8
