If we really knew how to raise Friendly children, public schools wouldn’t be the mess that they are.
I am not talking about taking N children and getting N children, maximizing average Friendliness of the children. I am talking about, given N children, finding some regimen X, such that a child which has finished regimen X will have the highest expected Friendliness.
Regimen X may well involve frequent metaphorical culling of children who have low expected Friendliness.
It isn’t clear that Science knows even a culling regime that would create Friendly child. If there were a reliable culling regime, we’d have Friendly politicians.
Also, what’s up with this degree-of-Friendliness language. AGI that has a small degree of Friendly is called uFAI. We’re already quite confident that we could make uFAI if we could make AGI at all.
