CEV Ethical Flaw: PCEV Gives Extra Influence to Sadists, Outcome Worse Than Extinction
weidai11 · x · 2026-08-15
weidai11 cites ThomasCederborg's LessWrong post, noting that the latest version of CEV (Parliamentarian CEV, PCEV) gives extra influence to people who intrinsically value hurting others. If PCEV were successfully implemented, the outcome would be massively worse than extinction. This highlights the importance of Alignment Target Analysis (ATA) and suggests CEV could constitute a plan to take over the world by unilaterally replacing the current power structure.
