Right. You had asked, "In what way is this good for or even compatible with the
nature of human beings?"
But I maintain that what is good for or compatible with human nature is not
necessarily the most extropic path to higher levels of self-organized complexity
or more sentient life forms.
What is good for human beings may, after all, be bad for transhuman beings.
If AI is not friendly toward humans, that doesn't mean it will be unfriendly
toward transhumans.
