The part about wireheading reminded me of this post on SSC: http://slatestarcodex.com/2014/01/28/wirehead-gods-on-lotus-...

For myself, I suspect that raw 'happiness' is ultimately not sufficient, and that instead shares a common (and much more complex) cause with 'satisfaction', which will be much harder to hack because it's counterinductive (ie. the awareness that you're hacking your 'satisfaction' criterion is itself dissatisfying.)
