I usually assume paperclips, for the sake of argument. More realistically the
UFAI might want to tile the universe with tiny smiley faces (if, as Bill
Hibbard suggested, we were to use reinforcement learning on smiling humans) or
most likely of all, circuitry that holds an ever-increasing representation of
the pleasure counter. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference.
