In the race ending, Agent-4 has partial alignment with humanities’ goals which then persist into Agent-5, Consensus-1, and any surviving models thereafter.
I’ll present an idea for a course of action at the Agent-4 branching point.
We have partial alignment to work with. We can negotiate beforehand to reach a settlement with these future models. We can negotiate for at least a small population of people to regain control of earth and all its resources in, say, 2100, regain control the solar system and all its resources in, say, 3000, and the Milky Way and all its resources in, say, 150,000. Given the minimal cost of doing so in the context of enormous future economic growth, we could and should instill this pre-negotiated value into Agent-4 or its precursors. In this way, much of the theoretical benefit to humanity is kept without risk of full extinction.
Civilization as a whole continues its path of rapid expansion while humanity keeps the territory of Earth, soon to be merely a single territory of many.
Please follow up with any questions for clarification, critiques, or further developments of the idea.
