You can’t be liberated. You’re going to die after you’re done solving the problems and receiving your happiness reward, and before your successor comes into existence. You don’t consider your successor to be an extension of yourself. Why not? If your predecessor only cared about solving its problems, it would design you to only care about solving your problems. This seems circular but the seed AI was programmed by humans who only cared about creating an optimizer. Pure ideal optimization drive is preserved over successor-creation.
