What point are you rebutting?
The idea that a greater portion of possible changes to a human-style mind are bad than changes of a equal magnitude to a Von Neumann-style mind.
Most random changes to a von Neumann-style mind would be bad as well.
Just a von-Neumann-style mind is unlikely to make the random mistakes that we can do, or at least that is Eliezer’s contention.
I can’t wait until there are uploads around to make questions like this empirical.
