Now this only reinforces my original interpretation. Any hardcoded
laws that can't be unrolled are part of AI's morals, you can't
substitute them with anything, there is nothing better from AI's
perspective, there are by definition no weaknesses. Saying that there
is something better assumes external evaluation, in which case AI
should be nearly perfectly optimal, no eternal crutches, or you are
paperclipped.
