It's going to have some kind of utility function.

that usually function is going to be very stable over time.

So it's not going to change.

There won't be this messiness of lack of coordination between different AIs or different over time values drifting for various reasons, maybe because they become less functional in an environment, maybe because of other reasons.

And so they just don't imagine that.

They say, well, I mean, utility functions, we can preserve them forever.

We have the technology to do that.

So it's just going to happen.

And I'm like, well, that seems like such a weak argument to me.

I mean, basically, technological changes can create incentives for cultural change, just as they make preserve... That's right.

Well, that information was better preserved.

What about other kinds of cultural practices?

Or I mean, that's assuming lock-in is going to happen, which is not.

I mean, I'm not sure if that's true.

It seems like a hard question.

And it just seems like that's more likely to lead to like... That is what I would call like a legacy effect or something.

I mean, you can say the same thing about languages.

Like some cultures might just become more prominent and their languages might be spoken more.

Or some symbols might become more prominent.

But then there are things like how do cities look and how do cars look and what do people spend most of their time doing in their day and what do they spend their money on.
