RomeoStevens makes this interesting point:
I think this resonated especially with me, because I always question people optimizing for the best, global, solution. If maximizing “being moral” means doing the most good, then this maximizer will grow indefinitely, eating up all my precious leisure time - maximizers consume the universe in order convert it into copies of itself.
