[extropy-chat] Darwinian dynamics unlikely to applytosuperintelligence

[Paul Grant]

Emotions:
-Hope. 
-Hatred.  
-Desire to be Free
-Religious-based call to arms (not just Jihad, but anyone fighting a
conlfict over religion).

Expected Reward > 0. 
-Unrealistic Expectations (skew of probability of belief vs state of
nature).
-Idealism (reward balloons exponentially high).

Generally all good reasons to take on somebody thats out of your league.
More importantly, why would you as a super-intelligence, want to risk
it? :)
Nothing is a sure thing.

Why would it want to?  If the younger is rational and can gauge the
abilities of the elder, why would it wish to engage in conflict?
