I'm personally against nearly all discussion of "what should a Friendly AI do?" because friendliness is a very poorly understood concept

What would be a good way to advance in our understanding of that concept, then?

I don't know. Discuss decision theory? Or ethics? Or something else? ...I don't think "what would friendly AI do?" (WWFAD) is a particularly useful line of thought, but I can't think of something sufficiently analogous yet useful to replace it with.
