To summarise AI safety:If you don't control or constrain a machine or an animal, it may do things you don't like. Or, in the case of my dog, nothing.
As for AI, to quote the Bible "If thy computer offend thee, switch it off". Or as any driving instructor will tell you, learn to stop it before you start it.
Part of the magic of reinforcement learning relies on regularly rewarding the agents for actions that lead to a better outcome. That models works great in dense reward environments like games in which almost every action correspond to a specific feedback but what happens if that feedback is not available? In reinforcement learning this is known as sparse rewards environments and, unfortunately, it’s a representation of most real-world scenarios. A couple of years ago, researchers from Google published a new paper proposing a technique for achieving generalization with reinforcement learning that operate in sparse reward environments.
Unless if the AI has distributed consciousness over thousands of computers in thousands of satellites equipped with solar cells and self maintenace robots.
Survival of consciousness is the universal ultimate reward

Your moral awareness is still on the level of kin altruism.

Just as well Musk isn't trying to eliminate malaria. One would hate to be labelled speciesist for disliking plasmodium.

The more appropriate term would be elementalist.
Taking your last two posts together suggests an experiment to demonstrate your point. It's always a good idea to start with a simple, unsophisticated model, so teach or force plasmodium falciparum to be nice to its hosts. Your work will benefit three species!
So I should wait for the invading parasites to "come and go naturally"? At what level? Plasmodium, rats, fascists? Life is competitive. If you don't fight, you won't win.
