Just to make sure I understand, this example assumes that the base objective is “predict human behavior”, and doesn’t apply to most base objectives, right?
Yes, it probably doesn’t apply to most objectives. Though it seems to me that the closer the task is to something distinctly human, the more probable it is that this kind of consideration can apply. E.g., making judgements in criminal court cases and writing fiction are domains where it’s not implausible to me that this could apply.
I do think this is a pretty speculative argument, even for this sequence.
