Ah, that clears up a lot of things for me. (I saw your earlier comment but was quite confused by it due to not realizing your narrow / short-term distinction.) One reason I thought you used “short-term” and “narrow” interchangeably is due to Act-based agents where you seemed to be doing that:
These proposals all focus on the short-term instrumental preferences of their users. [...]
What is “narrow” anyway?
There is clearly a difference between act-based agents and traditional rational agents. But it’s not entirely clear what the key difference is.
And in that post it also seemed like “narrow value learners” were meant to be the whole AI since it talked a lot about “users” of such AI.
(In that post I did use narrow in the way we are currently using short-term, contrary to my claim the grandparent. Sorry for the confusion this caused.)
