OK, so program against that. But how much better and longer do you have to observe a person before you can accept that such behavior is rather fixed and permanent? There is no perfect solution to this. And sometimes biases, such as self-confidence being too high, can actually lead to winning performances. And some depressed people see the world more clearly than the rest of us (a finding that shocked me when I saw it years ago.)

That's true - for the present. But this is speculation about a future<br>
time when humans plus AGI super-intelligences have enough knowledge<br>
and technical ability to upload complete human personalities into a<br>
computing substrate.<br>
(i.e. It's all airy-fairy nonsense - but interesting). :)<br>
<br>
As you say, it would be very dangerous to upload humans with<br>
personality problems into super-speed computers. I think there would<br>
have to be some correction system in the process. Either during the<br>
upload or in the virtual world, where more advanced intelligences know<br>
how to remove errors in uploaded human personalities.<br>
