Where they come up
Said by someone else — these sentences name them.
“The core intuition underlying concerns about power-seeking is Bostrom (2012) ’s instrumental convergence thesis , which states that there are some subgoals that are instrumentally useful for achieving almost any final goal.”
· The Alignment Problem from a Deep Learning Perspective · machine-resolved
“Bostrom (2014) identifies a number of ‘convergent instrumental goals’, each of which promotes an agent’s power to achieve its objectives.28 These include:”
