The main problem I have with wireheading is the notion of me simply being and not doing anything else. If I could just alter my mind to be maximally or close to maximally happy nearly all the time, but still letting me do all kinds of different things and still be motivated to do various things, I'd have a much smaller problem.
I imagine the ultimate wireheading would involve complete happiness and interfacing with the FAI's consciousness, experiencing much more than is possible by a solitary mind.
