I think one of the main worries is that the AI will fail to serve anyone, even if attempted to arbitrarily unfairly serve a single individual.
It is like arguing where our rocketship should go when we don’t even know whether we can reach orbit or not explode on launch pad.
Slider—if we’re inventing rocketships, we should very much be arguing about where they should go—especially if the majority of humanity would delight in seeing the rocketships rain down fire upon their enemies, rather than colonizing the galaxy.
When even the intention to colonize the galaxy leads to the ships raining down uncontrollably to our cities it becomes a rather moot point.
I guess I recognise it is going to be proper at some point but it seriously should not distract from avoiding suicide.
