No, I'm working on a safe wire, not a wire-safety cream. I tend to emphasize pretty hard that FAI is going to put strong constraints on the design from the beginning, and it's not something you could apply afterward to an AI that wasn't designed with that in mind.
But can we know that, if we're not only clueless about what an AI will be like, but even about what intelligence is? Why would AI ever want to "get out of the box"?
Will the AI get horny?
If it doesn't get horny, what else won't it get? It seems pretty clear that a majority of our behavior is a bunch rationalization for attempts at social recognition, response to sexual jealousy, self-image reinforcement, repression of complexes, etc. On top of that, most people I'd consider "intelligent" seem to me just well-schooled in social mannerisms, with a knack for parroting popular "intellectual ideas".
I'd imagine a true AI would have no reason to get out of the box... and destruction of civilization? world domination? I thought the point of power is to get laid, so if you can't get laid, what would the point of that be?
