Why Self-Taught Artificial Intelligence Has Trouble with the Real World

Maximizing the minimum value is a sound optimization method. It gets an overall sound system that doesn't get any obvious break point.

In terms of happiness, it makes sure that no one is left behind, and tends to produce a more homogeneous society than optimizing for the average.

Well, aside from the imperative to euthanise the least happy regardless of their absolute happiness, I guess :-).

And making most individual actions normally called moral or immoral difficult to justify or condemn except that they might indirectly affect the least happy person.

And then there's the weird idea that my local actions may have moral weight depending on the arbitrary existence of an unhappy person in a distant country.

All seems pretty bizarre to me.
