What is the difference between what you mean by “goal-directed AGI” and “not goal-directed AGI”, given that the latter is stipulated as “competent in arbitrary domains (given enough computing power)”? What does “competent” refer to in the latter, if not to essentially goal-directedness, that is successful attainment of whatever “competence” requires by any means necessary (consequentialism, means don’t matter in themselves)? I think these are identical ideas, and rightly so.
