I am not quite sure what the correct answer is for playing Minecraft (let’s ignore the Ender Dragon, which did not exist when I played it).
I think there is a correct answer for what to do to prevent AI doom. Namely to take actions that achieve high expected value in your world model. If you care a lot about the universe then this translates to “take actions that achieve high expected value on the goal of preventing doom.”
So this only works if you really care about the universe. Maybe I care an unusual amount about the universe. If there was a button I could press that would kill me, but that would save the universe, then I would press it. At least in the current world, we are in. Sadly it isn’t that easy. If you don’t care about the universe sufficiently compared to your own well-being, the expected value from playing video games would actually be higher, and playing video games would be the right answer.
