That’s true. I’ve been using the term “utility” in a way that is probably wrong. What I really meant is that humans have different kinds of things they want to maximize, and get unhappy if some of them are fulfilled and others aren’t… so their utility functions are complicated.
The obvious problem with standard wireheading is that it only maximizes one of the things humans want.
