Yvain, while it’s hard to get a feel on what exactly happens when one of the meddling dabblers tries to give their AI a goal system, I would mostly expect those AIs to end up as paperclip maximizers, or at most, tiling the universe with tiny molecular smiley-faces. Nothing sentient.
Most AIs gone wrong are just going to dissassemble you, not hurt you. I think I’ve emphasized this a number of times, which is why it’s surprising that I’ve seen both you and Robin Hanson, respectable rationalists both, go on attributing the opposite opinion to me.
