  I guess it comes down to what one think the goal of all life is

  I would say that seeking all such “values” would be part of it, and you don’t need billions of different creatures to do that when one optimal being could do it more efficiently

  But I did state its goal; to seek out truth (and to utilize anything that might yeild to that effort)

  Since many LW readers responded negatively about my apparently controversial idea about AI (check my previous post) without commenting on why, I learned that maybe it’s better to build up an audience who is willing to engage with you by leading with ‘safer’ posts

  And the cost was debuting this community with negative karma
