What does that even mean? Sure, it's being created by evolved organisms, but that doesn't mean that it has to follow the rules of evolution any more than evolution had to follow the rules of dumb luck. > and > is competing with likewise "Competition" in the evolutionary sense can only occur if there is a large population of reproducing AGIs, with a strong selection pressure in some direction which will tend to kill off large parts of the AGI population to stop the population from going to infinity.

That is not an evolutionary constraint; evolution doesn't model reality at all. 2). That is not a constraint on the AGI's behavior; ie, what it does to us. > You need the models and the crunch to do so. > > > actually nicer than most AGIs, because evolution > is > > Evolution isn't anything, it's just an essential > feature > of self-replicating systems in a limited-resource > context.
