(On the theme of quantum random number generators, if for some reason ontotechnology is possible then running an AI that explores the space of possible self-modifications based on quantum random seeds is significantly more dangerous than running it based on pseudorandom seeds, as you only need to get ontotechnology in a vanishingly small fraction of worlds in order to change the entire ensemble. I think this is a reductio ad absurdum of the idea of ontotechnology, as the universe should of course already be at equilibrium with respect to such total rewrites, but there are really weird, moderately interesting, and almost assuredly misguided ideas in roughly this area of inquiry.)
