I think CSC can gradually morph itself into CEV and that’s how we solve AI Goalcraft.
That sounds lovely if it’s true, but I think it’s a much more ambitious vision of CSC than people usually have in mind. In particular, CSC (as I understand it) usually takes people’s preferences as a given, so if somebody wants something they wouldn’t want upon reflection, and maybe they’re opposed to doing that reflection because their preferences were always more about signaling etc., well then that’s not really in the traditional domain of CSC, but CEV says we ought to sort that out (and I think I agree). More discussion in the last two paragraphs of this comment of mine.
Great post. Personally I think the “computational social choice” angle is unerexplored.
