gollark: You can actually apply this to lots of things, like how the memetic evolution process doesn't select for "good" ideas but good-at-spreading ideas.
gollark: negative_utilitarianism_irl
gollark: They won't do their best to work out exactly what you intended and do it. The optimization process will produce things which do well at the optimization process.
gollark: Exactly.
gollark: And you DO NOT WANT your AI to be working out the most convenient loopholey way to satisfy the letter (well, the code) of "do not harm humans".
