Wow. Brilliant. If I might make a few observations? Let me quote you.

“…a reminder of why it’s crucially important to tell your system not just what its goals are, but how it should balance those goals against costs.”

Yes great equation, however could we add a few words? In the equation above could we change just “costs” to “human costs as defined by some sort of empathetic moral code tied directly to eco-friendly quality of life metrics”?

Just as the name of the Matrix like paradigm here is “Paperclip Maximizer” maybe the problem is that it should never be anything more than a “Humans in Harmony with Habitat Maximizer”. Certainly it is mankind’s only hope for continuity as we near the end of this particular cycle of boom and bust.
