Just curious, have you encountered the neurotransmitter serotonin and its role in the human body? I think the mechanisms behind it (and other neurotransmitters) have far reaching relevance to the alignment problem compared to valence.
I think serotonin does different things in different parts of the brain (and body), and that none of those things are particularly relevant to Safe & Beneficial AGI, so I don’t plan to write about it.
That’s my opinion, and I’m well aware that other people would disagree with me about that.
If you think you have some serotonin-inspired insight into the alignment problem, you’re welcome to write it up. :)
