This approach fails for appointing benevolent human dictators to run our governments for us, because humans are smart enough to be pretend to be nicer than they are. So checking the apparent subservience of AIs isn't a reliable indicator once they're smart enough to fake that.

If you optimize hard enough over any open-ended problem, you get minds; minds that want things. Minds and wanting are effective ways of computing complicated answers. That's how humans, and human brains, came into existence just from evolution hill-climbing "how to reproduce".

You could imagine Magnus Carlsen pouring water onto the Stockfish computer, because he's much more general than Stockfish even if he's not as good as chess. Harder for a 10-year-old to do to Magnus Carlsen, who also knows more about the world beyond the chessboard.

That It doesn't need current protein systems (life forms) to do anything, including think for It. It can make different life forms. It can make better proteins. It can make life not out of amino acids. So It doesn't need wheat, cows, or humans.

The manufacturers who say they want to build Magnus Carlsens have been making a terrifying amount of recent progress, even though they're not there yet, and eyeballing the rate of things, it looks more like 0-2 breakthroughs than 20 of them.

If something is not just smarter than humanity, but smarter than the cumulative optimization power of evolution, there's no humans It needs to trade with or animals It needs to raise or plants It needs to cultivate; anything life does, It can design better alternatives for.
