Alignment is based on mathematical theorems like game theory and other stuff. If you can find a mathematically proven solution, it willl stick (at least that’s the consensus I guess). Still things like viruses or bugs could occur, but here we have an intelligent agent equipped to deal with that, and no hacker is smart enough to hack something a million times more intelligent than him.
Can’t see life arising from aluminium alone.
Forever is a really long time.
Your view of pleasure and pain should become more influenced by science than philosophy, since the latter has usually got it wrong. Pain is a stupidity in the modern human era, it’s an extremely outdated survival mechanism. Look up Jo Cameron, a woman who was born immune to pain. She reported high happiness, sanity, was completely functional. Some people will go through little pain in their life’s. Others, absurd amounts. All comes down to luck, not balance. We could eliminate pain forever (with gene therapy). Or make world a living hell. There’s no advantage in having pain. Nor dues pleasure make up for it. Humans seek stability, not an endless orgasm. In fact that would become pain as well, it would fry you up.
