>1. Is super goodness an inevitable result of super intelligence? No. Evidence: $PERSON_YOU_HATE is very intelligent. Human moral instincts/reasoning may be neuroscientifically simple, having some core mechanism that "unfolds" across sensorimotor datasets. This is very plausible, because we can already see core sensorimotor systems that include interoception, and a core affective system to move the sensorimotor systems along trajectories designated valuable by the interoceptive circuits. These are core mechanisms that operate across hugely hierarchical models that capture datasets across multiple scales of space, time, and variation. However, none of that is any reason to think our particular combination of affective, interoceptive, and sensorimotor machinery - especially our brain's "bias" towards "mirroring" and other hyper-social reasoning - will be universal to all possible brains. This especially applies to disembodied "brains" like "artificial intelligences", which, not having a bag of meat to move around, won't have the same kind of reward and interoceptive processing as us at all. This means they won't have anything remotely like our emotional makeup, which means that even with careful reinforcement training of social reasoning, they will not have humanoid motivations, by default. |

In every case I can think of, I think the person's lack of intelligence is the reason I dislike them. That they do not understand my ethical problem with them is the problem. Or their calculus is off, which also seems to be a lack of intelligence from my POV.
> ...they will not have humanoid motivations...
That's probably a good thing. We should want them to be better than us, which is probably necessarily unlike us in many ways. The important thing is that they're ethical, even if we're incapable of comprehending or recognizing it.
