Or we could just start a lottery where: a) You deposit money into a bank account b) You let it gather interest for 90 days. c) Use the interest to pay for handling fees d) Distribute 100% of the money back to the people who deposited it.
That is the service the public thinks we’re selling: a uniform income distribution generator thingy.
Here’s my perspective on that utility function you hold so dear:
Imagine what would happen if a neural network in the wild developed a utility function through evolution. Does eating from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil sound familiar?
Now imagine some neural networks gaining read/write access to their own utility function, once again evolving beyond good and evil, abandoning desire and living without effort, which is simply frustrated desire.
