Precisely. But anything not covered by ethical considerations (say the
moons of Saturn) are likely to be used by the AGI as resources, to the
maximum of possible efficiency. That's why getting the ethical
dimensions of the AGI is so important. If the AGI sees cows or apes as
a pure resource (see previous thread), then they will probably be
wiped out very fast.
