[ExI] Fermi Paradox and Transcension

[Jeff Davis]

The question was almost rhetorical.

Humans know what constitutes ethical behavior, they just refuse to
practice it, and the higher up in the power hierarchy, the more
lawless they become.

An advanced ai would have no such problems, and would be far more
likely to conform to a higher ethical standard.

That's what I was saying.
