Deontology and consequentialism are not similar things that blend into each other, they are different aspects of the same problem of how to decide what to do.
Eliezer has written about this:
“Go three-quarters of the way from deontology to utilitarianism and then stop. You are now in the right place. Stay there at least until you have become a god.”
“The rules say we must use consequentialism, but good people are deontologists, and virtue ethics is what actually works.”
It’s about humans, but superintelligence is closer to god here.
