What the heck does that even mean? Benefits according to whom? To the
best guesstimate of the best benefits each would desire if each of the
beings was much smarter and more sane and more generally enlightened

Hopefully the AGI will not be nearly so sloppy in its thinking.
Hopefully we will not wait to build AGI until we get sufficient
political agreement that we have a workable plan for uplifting the sea
