Alas, you are but one evolutionary agent testing the behavior space.
I believe that humans are generally good, but with 6 billion of them,
there's a lot of crime. Do we plan on building one AI?

I think the argument is that with runaway recursive self-improvement,
any hardcoded nugget approaches insignificance/obsolesence. Is there
a code that you could write that nobody, no matter how many trillions
of times smarter, couldn't find a workaround?
