Can we really expect a superintelligence to stick with the values we give it ?

Yes.

I don't see how we can bound a superintelligence without doing more computation than we expect it to do in its lifetime.

I once proved that a program will print out only prime numbers endlessly. I really, really wish I kept the working out.
