Imagine a twenty-five-year-old you standing in front of a super-ultra-omni-meta AI that says: ”I USED MY SOPHISTICATED WAYS TO PREDICT HOW YOU MIGHT DIE.” *shows its source code and the data*
Option I You die as a hero at the age of 40 for your country, goodness and values that most people in the world cherish.
Option II You die at the age of 60 in the name and glory of a sadistic tyrant who is despised by all of humanity for trying to cause zillions of deaths.
Option III You die at the age of 79, supporting in every imaginable way the destruction of half the Earth.
“What is the outcome of each possible scenario?” you inquire. ”CLASSIFIED.” “What is the probability of success/failure for each of the scenarios?” ”CLASSIFIED.” . . . “How exactly I will die?” “IN ALL THE SCENARIOS, THE CAUSE OF YOUR INSTANT, PAILNESS DEATH IS A BULLET TO THE BACK OF THE HEAD.” . . . “What if I refuse to choose?” ”YOU WILL DIE ON THE SPOT.”
Just another thought experiment
