Choice to take particular action generates sub-goal (which might be deep in the sub-goal chain). If you go up, asking "why?" on each level, you eventually reach the feeling level where goals (not just sub-goals) are coming from. In short, I'm writing these words because I have reasons to believe that the discussion can in some way support my &/or someone else's AGI R &/or D. I want to support it because I believe AGI can significantly help us to avoid pain and get more pleasure - which is basically what drives us [by design]. So when we are 100% done, there will be no pain and an extreme pleasure. Of course I'm simplifying a bit, but what are the key objections? > Saying just 'Friendly AI' seems to be > sufficient to specify a goal for human researchers, but not enough to > actually build one. Just build AGI that follows given rules.
