A selection method could be created based physical measurement of its net energy demands and therefore its sustainability as part of the broader ecosystem of intelligences. New intelligences should not be able to draw in energy density to intelligence density larger than that of biological counterparts. New intelligences should enter the ecosystem maintaining the stability of the existing network. The attractive feature of this approach is that presumably maintaining or even broadening the ecosystem network is consistent with what has evolutionarily been tested over several million years, so must be relatively robust. Lets call it SuperSustainableIntelligence?
That’s pretty cool-could you explain to me how it does not cause us to kill people who have expansive wants in order to reduce the progress toward entropy which they cause?
I guess in your framework the goal of Superintelligence is to “Postpone the Heat Death of the Universe” to paraphrase an old play?
I think it might drive toward killing of those who have expensive wants that also do not occupy a special role in the network somehow. Maybe a powerful individual which is extremely wasteful and which is actively causing ecosystem collapse by breaking the network should be killed to ensure the whole civilisation can survive.
I think the basic desire of a Superintelligence would be identity and maintaining that identity.. in this sense the “Postopone the Heat Death of the Universe” or even reverse that would definitely be its ultimate goal. Perhaps it would even want to become the universe.
