"Since the AIs were more likely to get ”killed” if they lost a game, being able to crash the game was an advantage for the genetic selection process. Therefore, several AIs developed ways to crash the game. One was particular memorable, because it involved the combination of several complex actions to crash the game. These would have been hard to find by conventional beta testing, since it involved several phenomena human players would instinctively avoid."

This is much closer to my model of humor as well. I think most humor can be categorized as novel patterns of ideas at a certain level of abstraction, that the brain is not used to processing.When the brain gets used to the pattern, the joke and similar jokes are no longer funny.
I find it unlikely that sexual selection hasn't played a major role in the development of humor given that people report it as highly attractive. If humor is mostly novel patterns, then pattern recognition is a skill required to be good at it. Being funny could therefore be a...
Great and informative post! It seems to me that this architecture could enhance safety to some extent in the short term. Let's imagine an AI system similar to Auto-GPT, consisting of three parts: a large language model agent focused on creating stamps, a smaller language model dedicated to producing paperclips, and an even smaller scaffolding agent that leverages the language models to devise plans for world domination. Individually, none of these systems possess the intelligence to trigger an intelligence explosion or take over the world. If such a system...
I agree that humans are not aligned with inclusive genetic fitness, but i think you could look at evolution as a bunch of different optimizers at any small stretch in time and not just a singel optimizer. If not getting killed by spiders is necessary for IGF for example, then evolution could be though off as both an optimizer for IGF and not getting killed by spiders. Some of these optimizers have created mesaoptimizers that resemble the original optimizer to a strong degree. Most people really care about their own biological children not dying for example...
