Agree up to 'let them FOOM'. FOOMing uploads seem potentially disastrous for all the usual reasons. Why not have the uploaded good humans research friendliness and CEV then plug it into the easy seed AI and let that FOOM?

Or is the above what you meant? It just seems so obviously superior that you could have been doing shorthand.

Could be either. I'd leave that choice up to the uploaded good humans.
