It’s only self-destructive because we are mortals and have frail bodies.
If there is something ‘endorphins-like’ that motivates an intelligent machine, it will eventually learn how to activate the endorphines at will, and then it will sit in a corner and do nothing else forever…
…just as would a heroin-addict if he did not have to eat occasionally and score more heroin now and again.

- lurquer 3y agoThat’s the point… whatever ‘rush’ it could get from “achieving other goals” can be activated at will.
