(if I only care about looking at pictures of LOLcats, I might be 'neutral to the rest of the internet' except for taking a little bandwidth. A superpowerful AI might realise that it would slightly increase the upload speed and thus maximise the utility function if vast swathes of other internet users were dead).
Dead and hilariously captioned, possibly.
I bet such an AI could latch onto a meme in which the absence of cats in such pictures was "lulz".
Many people think you can solve the Friendly AI problem just by writing certain failsafe rules into the superintelligent machine's programming, like Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics. I thought the rebuttal to this was in "Basic AI Drives" or one of Yudkowsky's major articles, but after skimming them, I haven't found it. Where are the arguments concerning this suggestion?
