Eliezer Yudkowsky 18y ▲ 31 ✕ 0 ✓ If you go back and check, you will find that I never said that extrapolating human morality gives you a single outcome. Be very careful about attributing ideas to me on the basis that others attack me as having them. The "Coherent" in "Coherent Extrapolated Volition" does not indicate the idea that an extrapolated volition is necessarily coherent. The "Coherent" part indicates the idea that if you build an FAI and run it on an extrapolated human, the FAI should only act on the coherent parts. Where there are multiple attractors, the FAI should hold satisficing avenues open, not try to decide itself. The ethical dilemma arises if large parts of present-day humanity are already in different attractors. Reply
