It seems to me that the basic principle is
Whatever goals you want your super-AI to have,
make them subgoals of a Friendliness supergoal.
And that the important observation which backs
this up is that survival and intelligence are
natural subgoals of Friendliness, because
(i) if it's dead, the AI can't be actively Friendly
(ii) if it's dumb, the AI can't be effectively
Friendly
So a Friendly AI is not *obviously* disadvantaged
with respect to 'survivalist' or 'scientist' AIs.
At any rate, this is the thirty-second summary
I will use if I ever have to explain what
Friendliness amounts to as a design principle.
Unless someone can give me a better description.
