I'm confused. This argument seems to assume that creating a new person and letting them live for a year has the same value as letting an already-existing person exist for a year. But this is absurd.
It is based on the idea that most of what matters is human-years-experienced, weighted by how good those years are. I don't think that's absurd.
We totally need a UFAI optimizing for this, just for the inevitable stage of countless factory-grown dopamine-fed, endorphin-drinking genetically-hyperhedonic infants being raised in superstimulating creches for a year before all of their nociceptors are rejiggered to create oxytocin cascade and they're loaded on a conveyor belt bound for the incinerator.
I'm not sure those count as very good human-years-experienced.
Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
Thanks for linking your thoughts on this matter.
