“They couldn’t do that if they were ruled by a higher level of government.”
Indeed, but people are generally too biased to perform that role, particularly when conflicts are driven by religious hate. That will change though once we have unbiased AGI which can be trusted to be fair in all its judgements. Clearly, people who take their “morality” from holy texts won’t be fully happy with that because of the many places where their texts are immoral, but computational morality will simply have to be imposed on them—they cannot be allowed to go on pushing immorality from primitive philosophers who pretended to speak for gods.
“We always take the viewpoint of the group we are part of, it is a subconscious behavior impossible to avoid.”
It is fully possible to avoid, and many people do avoid it.
“Without selfishness from the individual, no group can be formed.”
There is an altruists society, although they’re altruists because they feel better about themselves if they help others.
″...but when I analyze that feeling, I always find that I do that for myself, because I would like to live in a less selfish world.”
And you are one of those altruists.
“You said that your AGI would be able to speculate, and that he could do that better than us like everything he would do. If it was so, he would only be adding to the problems that we already have, and if it wasn’t, he couldn’t be as intelligent as we are if speculation is what differentiates us from animals.”
I didn’t use the word speculate, and I can’t remember what word I did use, but AGI won’t add to our problems as it will be working to minimise and eliminate all problems, and doing it for our benefit. The reason the world’s in a mess now is that it’s run by NGS, and those of us working on AGI have no intention of replacing that with AGS.
