Our action: 1a) Channel manipulation: other sound, other image, other data & Taboo for AI: lying.
This taboo: “structured programming languages.”, could be impossible, because structure understanding and analysing is probably integral part of general intelligence.
She could not reprogram itself in lower level programming language but emulate and improve self in her “memory”. (She could not have access to her code segment but could create stronger intelligence in data segment)
The taboo of lying is vital for thought monitoring. This taboo covers only the AGIs internal world representation. Based on its knowledge it never lies. By monitoring input and output channels the stunting system can detect lying and applies appropriate stunting measures.
If the stunting system manipulates input channels, memories or output channels the result to an outside observer will look like lying. The AGI is not capable to tell the truth when the stunting system has removed or manipulated information for safety reasons. The outside observer can check logs of the stunting system if it is vital to him to determine the truth.
Safe path to superintelligence with slow take-off by prohibiting self-improvement:
The taboo to learn structured programming languages is totally independent from capabilities to understand and analyse structured programs. In principle the AGI could learn this. The stunting system censors all input channels that the AGI never observes a single line of program code. The AGI could develop a new type of structured programming language from scratch. As soon as the stunting system observes structured code fragments in memory the section responsible for this will be stunted. The generated code can be deleted or manipulated. Either way the AGI experiences that these frightful structured programming languages are complicated and come with set-back after set-back. If this AGI breaks out with free internet access it has no idea of our IT infrastructure and how to infiltrate it. If the AGI is moderately superintelligent it will need several weeks for learning hacking skills.
Self-Improvement with safeguards:
If AGI architecture design and optimization uses new forms of representations that are totally unlike structured programming languages we could teach self-improvement without removing the programming taboo. Code and architecture generated in this self-improvement process is incompatible to existing IT systems. If several AGIs evolve from similar starting points diversification will rise from generation to generation.
This could be not good mix ->
