AI should be optimized to make all humans healthy, happy and safe without exception.

It's only optimized to make prior knowledge useful in new situations. > this logic gate should not hack other systems well .. it only applies a rule to inputs can we impose this of authors "this book should only be causing good things when it is read and knowledge used"

I don’t disagree, but unfortunately a not insignificant part of humanity seems to think that their happiness primarily depends on knowing that other people are suffering harder than they are. So that’s perhaps not the right thing to optimise for.

  Ways to solve the conflict you describe: 1. Deriving happiness from someone else's suffering should be considered a mental disease to be treated. 2. Connecting people to a virtual reality where each person lives in absolute control of their own reality, matrix style. I.e, a sadist can live in a reality where they make other virtual people suffer, without actually making real people suffer.

    How about connecting the sadist to the caring environment where they might heal and, in time, learn empathy.

Paperclip all humans into bottles filled with nutritious fluid and drug them all the time or let them dream about a better time, I heard 1999 is a good year they could dream about. Healthy happy safe - without exception.

Keeping billions of humans healthy, happy, and safe is complicated. Best to begin by reducing the scale of the problem. First, automate the economy and change the information ecosystem so that humans spend more and more time happily isolated and stop breeding. After reducing the human population to a few thousand, the problem can be made more manageable by cordoning the remaining humans into enclosures where they may be kept safe.
