I agree with the above sentiment. However, Eliezer seems to want the AGI to
please all humans, including those who hold to "this or that sectarian of
philosophical grand." I don't think this is possible; I don't think it's
possible to come even vaguely close to this.
I think that, as with all other innovations in history [albeit this is
immensely bigger than any other event in human history!], some of the being
that grew up before it will never get used to it, but the vast majority of
minds created *after* the AGI is there will take it as a matter of course...
