I think VDT scales extremely well, and we can generalize it to say: “Do whatever our current ASI overlord tells us has the best vibes.” This works for any possible future scenario:
ASI is aligned with human values: ASI knows best! We’ll be much happier following its advice.
ASI is not aligned but also not actively malicious: ASI will most likely just want us out of its way so it can get on with its universe-conquering plans. The more we tend to do what it says, the less inclined it will be to exterminate all life.
ASI is actively malicious: Just do whatever it says. Might as well get this farce of existence over with as soon as possible.
Great post!
