Note: the provided utility function is incredibly insecure; even a not-very-powerful individual can manipulate the AI by writing down that hash code under certain conditions.
Also, the best way to minimize V + W is to minimize both V and W (i.e. write the hash code and create hell). If we replace this with min(V, W) then the AI becomes nihilistic if someone writes down the hash code, also a significant security vulnerability.
