Oh, I’msure he gave different weights to different things in his utility function than say…well pretty much anyone other human…but there are plenty of models that show a disaster for any “typical” human utility function. The ones showing disaster: venus and disaster: new ice age…are not exactly rare, though I’m not exactly sure how seriously to take them myself. ”Positive and negative in this day and age is dominated by public opinion”
Relying on Public Opinion is a cheap and dirty variant of Auffman’s agreement theorem; it gives plenty of bad results, but it’s a million times easier to use, and is still slightly better-maybe-than pure random-decisions....er, maybe.
Either that or we just differ in terms of what we’re labeling utility function versus part of the model?
