I thought the idea was that, under CEV, sociopaths would just get outvoted. People with mutant moralities wouldn't be excluded, but, just by virtue of being mutants, their votes would be almost entirely drowned out by those with more usual moralities.
[ETA: Eliezer would object to calling these mutant moralities "moralities", because he reserves the word "morality" for the action-preferring algorithm (or whatever the general term ought to be) that he himself would find compelling in the limit of knowledge and reflection. As I understand him, he believes that he shares this algorithm with nearly all humans.]
I wonder if, under the current plan, CEV would take into account people's volition about how CEV should work — i.e. if the extrapolated human race would want CEV to exclude the preferences of sociopaths/psychopaths/other moral mutants, would it do so, or does it only take into account people's first-order volition about the properties of the FAI it will build?
Ultimately, preference is about properties of the world, and AI with all its properties is part of the world.
