• We, as human beings do not optimize for the well-being of non-human animals in factory farming

  • Our Cost function cares mostly about nutrition and taste of the food we eat and we are able to exploit that by making farming really effective

  • But there is no free lunch and this effectiveness is gotten by sacrificing well-being of fellow non-human animals

  • Describe what we do to them

  • We are unaligned to values of other animals

  • Is the factory farming good parallel to Unaligned A.I?

    • Yes, because in both cases some Agent is optimizing for it’s goals, being indifferent to values of other animals.
  • It’s important to make sure that this does not happen with A.I
