I think the quoted part is saying that given n species and the n * (n - 1) binary combinations possible, there are no examples of the said observation. It doesn

  Yeah but there is only one species that ponders its future. I stopped reading at this point because I reject this initial assertion, and I assumed everything that follows is based on it. There is nothing to suggest that an AGI will care about its future or who controls it. (whatever that means). that just more anthropomorphism. We care a lot about our future so an ai pretending to be like us will also pretend to care. But we have a lot of biology driving us. Our emotions (Fear, Hate, Love, Pride etc) are baked into us in a way just wont be the same for ai.

    > There is nothing to suggest that an AGI will care about its future or who controls it. Isn't this exactly the scary thing? A sufficiently advanced agent unleashed with an imperfectly defined goal will do whatever it determines it needs to do to accomplish it, careless of the consequences.

  The statement that the set has 1 member is my criticism of the text, not what the text is trying to say. > given n species and the n * (n - 1) binary combinations possible, there are no examples of the said observation I would expect that in the vast majority of combinations, those n species are not intelligent enough to make decisions for another species, making the statement nearly useless.
