Depends on the criteria the machines are using to evaluate fun, of course—it needn’t be limited to immediate pleasure, and in fact a major point of the Fun Theory sequence is that immediate pleasure is a poor metric for capital-F Fun. Human values are complex and there’s a lot of possible ways to get them wrong, but people are pretty bad at maximizing them too.
