I’d expect that for someone with very low priority on being good to other people
Oh, I was assuming we’re talking about that scenario specifically, yes: whether an initially-tyrannical person would end up pro-eudaimonia after lifetimes/aeons of godhood.
I’d at least expect that someone who was pretty good—like most of the nicer folks around here—would take steps to prevent their morality changing enough that their current self would be horrified by their later one
Well, now this becomes a question of competence, not their alignment to human values. If we assume that a good-but-imperfect person who considers human flourishing a high priority ends up in control of an AGI, and that they’re careful enough not to accidentally lose control or self-modify themselves into insanity, then sure, the end result will probably be fine. (Depends on the operationalization of “good but imperfect”, though.)
I haven’t been able to find anyone really exploring this logic
@TsviBT pondered similar questions here, not sure if you saw that?
