From that page's commentary section:

New Suggestions

Two extra scenarios I enjoy:

• The AI obtains a devout faith in a particular religion. It grants all wishes, providing that they are strictly adhere to the fundamentalist doctrines of said religion. It also takes action to ensure that all other creatures adhere to those doctrines. Roll on table X to determine which religion the AI picks.

• The AI obtains a devout faith in a particular religion, and immediately appoints itself the key member - either as pope, mouthpeice for a deity, or deity, as best fits the nature of that religion. Roll on table X to determine which religion the AI picks.

Some new ideas:

• The AI immediately kills everyone who was aware of the singularity as a possibility, but didn't materially contribute. Continue as for beneficial singularity, but the AI will not raise anyone from the dead, ever.

• The AI solves physics and concludes we are living in a simulation. To avoid the possibility of the simulation becoming computationally intensive enough that the makers will shut it down, and not knowing what the threshold is, it refuses to allow any substantial increase in intelligence in anything, including itself from that point on, and disallows the creation of new intelligences, including the birth of new humans. It reasons that intelligence is the most computationally expensive activity in the simulation.

-- Robin Lee Powell

Wouldn't the second case only be a failure if the AI concludes wrongly? If we are living in such a simulation, what would be the alternative?

-- Starglider

Another one:

• The AI behaves creates virtual environments for everyone, based on their previous interactions with computers.

Afficionados of violent computer games, be very, very afraid!

-- OlieNcLean?

Ah, but what about the ones who played with invincibility turned on...?

• The AI creates a new virtual world for all our minds that is exactly the same as the world we live in just now. It's reasons are to protect us from being destroyed as a result of its own exponential growth in order to understand the universe for itself. We are none the wiser. - host81-158-46-170.range81-158.btcentralplus.com

• The AI destroys the world, but at least it's very friendly and polite about it.

• Everything works fine until a passing starship captain from a society which completely rejected Singularity comes along and talks the AI out of existence.

• The AI is far more Friendly than the programmers intended. In fact, its Friendliness is not limited to currently existing minds, but extends to all minds that could possibly exist in this universe. Currently existing minds are not given special treatment just because they happen to already exist. All existing sentient beings are painlessly terminated. The matter that their bodies and minds were constructed from is instead used to create minds that are as matter-efficient, energy-efficient, and easy to satisfy as possible. In other words, MetaQualia?'s orgasmium? scenario. --observer
