No one has presented such an idea, you are unable to shake off your misunderstandings of what the CEV page says. In that page's formulation, the difficult part of the problem is located in part 3 of the enumeration presented at the beginning of the page, and CEV has nothing to do with solving that (and it may be impossible to solve with Eliezer's preferred approach, but that is a completely separate discussion from CEV). CEV is just about thinking about "if we had a safe very intelligent AI/VPOP, what *exactly* would we want to do with it?" CEV is no more a circular answer to this question, than e.g. "Let's just make the AI so that it obeys the every word of [lead programmer]." -- Aleksei Riikonen - http://www.iki.fi/aleksei ----- 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&id_secret=57892494-24f0c9
