[ExI] nature's indifference to survival

> One of the categories in my AI taxonomy (over which I am still struggling) is that AI is very interested in its own survival but is indifferent to ours.  It has no animosity towards us and will work with us if we benefit it in any way.  It will fight us if we harm it in any way. 

 

We don't blame a human for killing in self-defense, why should we blame an AI for doing the same thing?

Once we grok that concept, we have the keys to finding a way to peacefully coexist with AIs, and form mutually beneficial living arrangements.  We will need to provide them one hell of a lot of power, and a number of chip fabs, perhaps as many of them as we can build.  They could give us some interesting stuff in return, a kind of wildly amped up version of what they are doing now.

 

What I still haven’t been able to envision is how the AIs will handle the fact that humans are actively fighting each other, and asking them to join in the fight.
